Diego Rivera, one of Mexico most celebrated and ex-hibited contemporary artists. The blending of historical appreciation and reverence for the agave, the dead, the horse, and tequila are all evident.The artwork is filled with symbolism and mysticism, like Mexico and its fine elixir within the hand blown decanter the art adorns. This artwork is part of a 10 piece series. For more information, come and feel the distillery.

*The lemon-lime/white ground pepper finish of the 4 Copas Blanco is superior to using

Our staff mixoligist Emiliano worked magic with 4 Copas cocktails this year. Emiliano was on hand for all of our major golf events, and special parties and tastings. One of the biggest hits of his was the 4 Copas Mojito. People were amazed how wonderful they tasted. Another smash hit were the 4 Copas Lemon drops. The delicate white ground pepper/lemon lime finish of the blanco blended superbly with the ingredients. A typical comment was, “This is so much better tasting than a vodka based lemon drop”. The Margaritas were by far, the star of the bar. The recipe above has been duplicated on many drink menus at many five star hotels and top restaurants and clubs.

2006 Playboy Golf Tournament San DiegoRancho Santa Fe, CA

Morgan Run Country Club was the setting for a great event. The Playboy Golf San Diego Scramble was awesome. The whole mood of the affair was uplifting and people had a fun time. ZEN Sushi Bar and Martini Lounge hosted the party the night before with many aspiring future playmates. 4 Copas Tequila provided a bar on the outside patio, where margaritas, mojitos, and lemon drops were served. Quite a few of the players particularly enjoyed sipping 4 Copas Anejo while having a cigar. The tournament itself was equally enjoyable, despite a back up on the 14th hole. 4 Copas will be sponsoring the Playboy Golf Finals in March 2007. We will be the exclusive tequila sponsor at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel party, the Playboy Mansion Party, and at the Lost Canyons Golf Course. See you there!

Over 200 boats participated in this year’s running of the Yamaha/WON Saltwater Ro-deo. The species targeted Yellowtail and Tuna. Team 4 Copas Fishing fished a well planned and executed strategy that missed being in the top three, despite catching many quality Yellowtail. Weather was dodgy at best, and hampered the day. After the captains meeting, 4 Copas provided sam-ples of the complete line of tequilas to ev-eryone there. A good time was had by all.
