Tequila Avión Partners with Nick Young And Victor Cruz

Two former athletes are joining together to represent a tequila brand in a new partnership just announced for a different sport neither one is known for.

Tequila Avión has connected with professional basketball player Nick Young and former football wide receiver Victor Cruz. Last week, on June 14, Tequila Aviion paired with the two former players to release two different Caddie’s Caddy Kits to go along with some golf course essentials as well as signature cocktails by the tequila brand. Both kits have been inspired by golf enthusiasts, and it features the ultra-premium Avión Range – Reserva 44 Extra Añejo and Reserva Cristalino.

Former NBA shooting guard, Young AKA “Swaggy P” who played for the Los Angeles Lakers and won a championship with the Golden State Warriors said, in a written statement, “I may be a bucket on the court, but I’ve been working on my swing too. I’m excited to hit the course with my man Victor Cruz and sip on some of this Avión. While I do like to enjoy drinking Tequila Avión Reserva 44 straight on the rocks, I also wanted to create my own spin on the margarita that is Swaggy P approved.”

Included in the Caddie’s Caddy kit is one 750ml bottle from Tequila Avión’s Reserva Range. The cocktail and items in the kit were inspired by both Young and Cruz. It has a crystal decanter, and golf accessories including a bespoke leather nickel bag with a ball marker, bar towel, and autographed collectible golf balls by the two former players.

“Nick may be swaggy, but I’m already salsa dancing to the finish line,” said Cruz. “Touchdowns may be what I’m known for, but every win needs a celebration and I prefer the quality and taste of Cristalino to toast all the elevated moments in life.”

The Nick Young “Swaggy Marg” Cocktail Kit: The elder by one year, Nick Young, prefers an aged extra Añejo tequila, choosing Avión Reserva 44 for its complex and rich flavor experience. Young is toasting at the 19^th hole with “The Swaggy Marg” – a refreshing summer cocktail with watermelon, lime, and honey.
The Victor Cruz “Spicy Cruzarita” Cocktail Kit: The smooth moves of Cruz’s salsa dancing are a perfect match for the silky smoothness of Avión Reserva Cristalino. Renowned for its clarity thanks to a doubled-charcoal filtration process, the refined liquid is a unique blend of the finest 12-month-old añejo tequila and a touch of 3-year-old extra añejo. The “Spicy Cruzarita” adds fuego to the competition with homemade summer pepper syrup and lime.

The kits are both available now for a limited time at sourcedcraftcocktails.com with a suggested retail price of $230 each while supplies last.
