Mexican premium tequila brand Padre Azul is set to officially enter the Nigerian market with an exclusive tequila masterclass designed to introduce guests to the brand’s heritage, craftsmanship, and approach to tequila. The masterclass will take place at Mr Panther, Lagos, and will be led by David Rios, Padre Azul’s Tequila Brand Ambassador and Global Bartending Champion, who will take guests through the world of tequila and the craftsmanship behind Padre Azul.

Known for its distinctive handcrafted bottles and smooth, refined tequila, Padre Azul is a story of unexpected magic, Mexican heritage, and craftsmanship; brought to life in every bottle.

Also joining the experience is David Leonardo, Global Marketing Director for Padre Azul Tequila, who will open the session with an introduction to the brand’s heritage and the story behind its distinctive identity.
