Face Paint and Shots with Tequila: A Match Made in Heaven
The Catrina is the go-to icon for Día de Muertos, but let’s give it a modern twist. Why not rock face paint that vibes with your best tequila shots? Here’s how to slay your look and sip in style:
Fizzy Paloma with Olmeca Silver
This shot is a total mood—light, zesty, and refreshing. Think silver and pink tones in your makeup to keep it chill. Add some white and silver sparkle around your eyes with pink shadows for that ethereal yet bold vibe, just like the Fizzy Paloma!
Recipe: Mix 1 oz of Tequila Olmeca Silver, grapefruit juice, a splash of grapefruit soda, and a squeeze of lime. Serve it cold and get ready for a burst of freshness in every sip!
Dark Chocolate Skull with Olmeca Dark Chocolate
Feeling edgy? The Olmeca Dark Chocolate shot is rich and has a spicy kick. Pair it with a bold makeup look featuring deep smoky eyes, shimmering gold highlights, and intricate skull designs around your cheeks. It’s perfect for those who like their style (and drinks) with a bit of depth!
Recipe: Combine 1 oz of Tequila Olmeca Dark Chocolate with a splash of coffee liqueur, served in a shot glass. This one’s for ending the night on a smooth, sweet note.
Glow with Olmeca Gold
Shine bright like Olmeca Gold! Go for golden and bronze shades in your face paint with floral details around your eyes. This look captures the warmth and glam of gold, mixing tradition with a touch of bling.
Recipe: Blend 1 oz of Tequila Olmeca Gold with pineapple juice, and rim your glass with chili powder for a sweet-and-spicy kick. It’s the perfect companion to your glowing golden look!
Midnight Skull with Olmeca Añejo
Channel that classic sugar skull but with a moody twist—use deep purples and midnight blues around your eyes, adding intricate white skeleton designs. This makeup pays homage to tradition while bringing a modern vibe to the party. Pair it with a Tequila Old Fashioned using Olmeca Añejo for a rich, sophisticated sip!
Recipe: Stir 1 oz of Tequila Olmeca Añejo with a dash of bitters, a sugar cube, and a big ice cube. Garnish with an orange twist for a classic cocktail that’s as smooth as your bold style.
Glow-in-the-Dark Sugar Skull with Olmeca Silver
Take your sugar skull game to the next level with glow-in-the-dark face paint! Use neon pink and blue outlines around classic skull details—bright eye circles, a stitched smile, and intricate designs that light up when the party starts. This playful take on tradition is perfect for adding extra fun to Día de Muertos. Pair it with a Spicy Margarita for the best shot that’s as zesty as your style!
Recipe: Shake 1 oz of Olmeca Silver with lime juice, triple sec, and a slice of jalapeño. Serve it in a salt-rimmed glass for that perfect blend of heat and tanginess, just like your electrifying sugar skull makeup.
Mystical Marigold Glow with Olmeca Reposado
Marigolds, or cempasúchil, are essential for Day of the Dead. Paint marigold petals around your eyes in vibrant orange and gold tones, with delicate black details for a fresh twist. Pair this radiant floral look with the Pineapple Ritual—it’s the ideal balance of sweet and kick to keep the night buzzing!
Recipe: Mix 1 oz of Tequila Olmeca Reposado with pineapple juice and a splash of Tabasco sauce. Serve it in a shot glass with pineapple triangle for a punch that matches your vibrant marigold-inspired style.
Decorations: The Heart and Soul of the Party
Día de Muertos isn’t just about killer makeup; it’s about creating a space that celebrates life and honors those who came before us. Here’s how to set the scene and keep the Mexican spirit alive while adding that modern party twist:
Marigold Flowers (Cempasúchil): These vibrant blooms aren’t just eye candy; they’re the OG spirit guides bringing the vibes! Scatter those petals from the entrance straight to your main table where the Olmeca Tequila bottles are waiting to shine. It’s like rolling out the orange carpet for your crew (and any spirits that decide to join the fiesta)!
Candles for the Vibe: Candles are an absolute must for any altar and set the perfect chill mood. Place them around your Olmeca Tequila and those killer shots with tequila you’re serving. The warm flicker will bring some magical energy to the night, creating those snap-worthy moments that’ll have everyone buzzing!
Sugar Skulls for the Fun: Sugar skulls are not just cute—they’re party props! Personalize them with your squad’s names and let everyone get creative while sipping on Olmeca Tequila. It’s a dope way to keep the celebration alive and get everyone hyped for the night!
Papel Picado for Colorful Vibes: Amp up the fun by hanging colorful papel picado all over the place. Watching it dance in the breeze is a constant reminder of the spirits vibing with us, creating a festive atmosphere that makes your party pop. Plus, it’s the ultimate backdrop for those must-have pics!
Día de Muertos is more than just a tradition—it’s all about vibing with life, reminiscing with a smile, and making every second count with your crew. With Olmeca Tequila, you can turn your celebration into a straight-up fiesta that blends the best of Mexican culture with that modern edge only top-tier tequila can bring.
