There are lots of reasons for you to mix up a cocktail– just one of them is National Tequila Day! Maybe you want to relax and enjoy the sunset. You might want to have something different.. a more unique presentation of a cocktail that adds something to the ambiance of your meal or provides you a tasty beverage that will help you unwind from your day. Or you want to level up brunch with a sophisiticated cocktail. MILAGRO TEQUILA is a great brand. Their tequilas are smooth and silky.. yet the flavor on the palette will have you slowing down how fast you drink your cocktail because the flavor profiles of each type of tequila is pretty amazing. Milagro is one of my favorite tequila brands.

Luis Lopez – Milagro Tequila West Coast Brand Ambassador
Luis Lopez brings 11 years of hospitality and nightlife experience and an electric energy to his role as Milagro’s Brand Ambassador. Having worked across several roles within the food and beverage industry from the back of the house to behind-the-bar, Luis discovered his passion for the spirits industry early on in his career.
While his love affair with the industry began at the iconic Piano Bar in Hollywood, he’s also worked at several notable bars in and around Los Angeles over the course of his career, including Harvard & Stone, La Descarga, Black Market Liquor Bar, White Horse Lounge, and No Vacancy. Luis quickly began making a name for himself amongst bar goers for his elevated mixology skills, spirits knowledge and upbeat personality.
Prior to his current role, Luis served as a West Coast On Premise Specialist for William Grant & Sons. As an On Premise Specialist, he was tasked with training and educating employees at bars about the William Grant & Sons portfolio. Most recently, he worked as an independent bar consultant, assisting local businesses in reaching their maximum potential.
Born and raised in Los Angeles with Guatemalan roots, Luis’ life experiences have allowed him to develop a unique perspective on Latin culture. He prides himself on his knowledge of the region’s food and cocktails, and his list of accolades includes having won “Best Margarita” at a festival in Hollywood, where he competed with over 40 entrants.
Luis currently resides in West Hollywood, California. When he’s not mixing cocktails, he can be found working out, riding one of his three motorcycles around town, and traveling with hat box in tow to ensure he’s never without his signature accessory.

About Milagro
Milagro Tequila was founded in 1998 by two wide-eyed college friends who decided to take a chance and create a tequila that better reflected the bright, vibrant, artistic world of Mexico City. Milagro Tequila is truly defined by its ultimate balance of fresh agave taste and exquisite smoothness and is made from 100% blue agave from the Jalisco Highlands, where the finest, sweetest blue agave in the world is cultivated. The Milagro Tequila range consists of six expressions, with Silver, Reposado and Añejo expressions of the core and Select ranges respectively. A bright, fresh agave-forward liquid by design, all Milagro Tequila expressions undergo a 36-hour slow roasting process in traditional brick ovens to extract all the nuances of the precious agave flavor before being double-distilled. Milagro Tequila’s unique double-distillation process uses both pot and column stills to retain the vibrant, mouth-watering flavors of agave and impart an exquisite smoothness that compares to the finest white spirits in the world.
All Milagro Tequila expressions have an ABV of 40% alc./vol. and range from $24.99 to $34.99 per 750ml.
Milagro Select is an ultra-premium tequila devoted to the essential elements of the liquid, and confidently lets them shine. With the individual barrel numbers printed on each label, you know you’re getting award-winning liquid; Milagro Select Silver was awarded a Gold Medal in the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The premium bottle is inspired by the clean lines and work of renowned Mexican architect and engineer, Luis Barragán and the sophistication of modern-day Mexico. All Milagro Select expressions have an ABV of 40%alc./vol. and range from $39.99 to $54.99.
