August is arguably the most diverse month on the drinking calendar. While National Tequila Day came and went in July, tequila shared the spotlight with cocktails like piña coladas and mojitos. Meanwhile, August gives neat, straight pours like White Wine, Rum, and Red Wine each a day of their own. As tequila lovers, we’re a little upset about the August lineup leaving our spirit off the guest list.
Grab a glass, because tequila is about to crash every one of these parties.
Can Tequila Shake Up National White Wine Day on August 4?
Yes, it can, and it should. White wine enthusiasts love crisp, chilled, citrusy pours in the summer heat, and Borracho Tequila Blanco Artesanal delivers on all three and more. Judges at the 2026 Latin American World Spirits Competition commended the fresh citrus, blood orange, and hints of green pepper and herbal tones in our double-gold-winning Blanco Artesanal. Sauvignon Blanc brags about similar notes on its back label.
Try this swap on August 4. Pour two ounces of Blanco Artesanal over ice, top the glass with sparkling water, and add a squeeze of lime for a spritz that out-refreshes any Pinot Grigio. Your drink won’t need any sugar, since 100% Blue Weber agave tequila has a natural sweetness, plus it’s lower in carbs and calories than wine. The white wine crowd can keep their holiday. We will simply attend uninvited and bring the better bottle.
Can Tequila and Rum Raise a Glass Together on National Rum Day (August 16)?
Rum is the third most popular spirit in America. Like tequila, it’s born from the land, a product of its climate, soil, and traditions.
Tequila proudly salutes a fellow plant-based spirit, though we have one bone to pick: the sugarcane needed to produce rum is ready for harvest in just 12 to 18 months! Meanwhile, Blue Weber agave needs seven to ten years under the Jalisco sun. That’s nearly a decade of soaking up minerals, storing sugars, and developing the depth that defines a great tequila.
By the time an agave is ready for the jimador’s blade, a rum distillery has already produced several batches. Tequila plays the long game, and all those years of growing and tending come through in every sip.
Can Espresso Cristalino Hang With the Red Wine Crowd on August 28?
Jace Shoemaker-Galloway founded National Red Wine Day in 2014. From cabernet sauvignon and pinot noir to shiraz and nebbiolo, people love red wine for its depth and complexity. Funny enough, that’s exactly what Borracho Tequila Espresso Cristalino is. It won Double Gold at the 2026 Latin American World Spirits Competition for its rich, irresistible notes of roasted espresso, vanilla, and agave. Cabernet lovers who swirl, sniff, and discredit tannins will find plenty to obsess over in that glass.
So on August 28, pour those who love red wine a nightcap they would never expect. Hand them an ounce of our Espresso Cristalino in a wine glass, ask them to nose it before taking a sip, and wait for the double takes and inevitable “No way!”
Special Mention: Is a Tequila Sour Welcome at the Whiskey Sour Party?
Whiskey sour, a classic cocktail made with bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup, scored its own drinking holiday, too. However, the party on August 25 has a fun loophole. The whiskey sour belongs to a big family of sour cocktails, and tequila is already part of it. Even bartenders admit to building sours with tequila, rum, or gin, and tequila-based margaritas and palomas are beloved members of the family.
The whiskey sour made its debut in Jerry Thomas’s 1862 bartender’s guide, which means the recipe predates the light bulb. Honor that history with an agave twist. Shake two ounces of Blanco Artesanal with lemon juice, a splash of agave syrup, and plenty of ice. Add an egg white if you want the frothy top that Boston sour fans love. Strain the mix over fresh ice and garnish with an orange slice. Whiskey drinkers will peek over your shoulder. Give them a taste, then watch their skepticism disappear.
How Do You Give Tequila the August Holiday It Deserves?
You declare one yourself. Nobody owns the drinking calendar, so you’re free to pick a Saturday, fire up the grill, and pour 100% Blue Weber Agave Blanco Tequila for your friends and family. Call it “National Agave Appreciation Day,” or maybe just another Tuesday night with colleagues. Whatever name you choose, remember to drink responsibly, because a great celebration shouldn’t come with regrets the next day.
FAQs About Tequila and August Drinking Holidays
Does tequila have an official holiday in August?
Not in August, but Tequila claims several dates on the calendar, including National Tequila Day on July 24, National Margarita Day on February 22, and National Rosa Tequila Day on September 14. The lack of an official Tequila holiday in August is the perfect excuse to invent a celebration of your own.
Can I use tequila in cocktails for these August drinking holidays?
Absolutely, and the swaps will taste fantastic. Borracho Tequila Blanco Artesanal is perfect in mojitos, sours, spritzes, and highballs, while Espresso Cristalino gives red wine and rum some competition after dinner. Check out our tequila cocktail roundup for fun and delicious recipes.
Which Borracho bottle should wine drinkers try first?
You can’t go wrong with either of our expressions. Blanco Artesanal opens with refreshing citrus and earthy, grassy notes layered with cooked agave and accents of blood orange, green pepper, and light tobacco, before finishing with a silky texture. But if you usually end the night with a glass of red wine, Espresso Cristalino can offer a different kind of after-dinner experience with its roasted espresso and vanilla notes. Whichever bottle you choose, both are additive-free and made with 100% Blue Weber agave.
