Tequila Don Julio Unveils a Sensory Tasting Experience at Mercer Labs
Every sip of Tequila Don Julio tells a story — the story of Don Julio González and his dedicated approach to perfecting the spirit, while also championing his Mexican heritage. The luxury tequila brand invited audiences to experience that story for themselves at Por Amor: An Immersive Tasting Experience at Mercer Labs.
González's journey began at his first tequila distillery in La Primavera — and now, that legacy comes to life in a high-tech, multisensory takeover. Set within the museum's art-meets-technology space, the experience transports guests to the nutrient-rich clay soils and warm climate of the Jaliscan highlands, where the story of Tequila Don Julio first took root.

The sensory installation ran from June 12-15. While some parts of the activation revealed the spirit's origin story, other rooms invited visitors to guided tastings of Tequila Don Julio Reposado, Tequila Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino Anejo, and Tequila Don Julio 1942.
While guests savored the layered flavors of Tequila Don Julio and it's award-winning 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila, they were also immersed in the scent of roasted agave and rich oak—hallmarks of the brand's signature character—set against the vibrant rhythms and energy of Mexico. Reflecting the brand's blend of passion and artistry, the experience invited attendees to tap into their own creativity by crafting custom artisanal cocktails.
'Mercer Labs is a home to the world's most forward-thinking creators, and this collaboration with Tequila Don Julio represents a perfect union of creative vision,' said Roy Nachum, Co-founder and Creative Director of Mercer Labs. 'We're proud to host the brand's first immersive takeover and give guests the opportunity to experience tequila in a way that's never been done before.'

‘Kimmel' Guest Host Diego Luna Turns Fox News Mockery Into ‘Delicious' Moment
'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' guest host Diego Luna laughed off Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham Thursday after the Mexican actor's impassioned defense Monday of undocumented workers appeared to set off the conservative news host. 'I didn't do this for the recognition or the money,' Luna said Thursday. 'Because there's nothing. But there has been such an outpouring of support over the past few days. And last night... I got the highest honor a late-night host can receive.' Luna went on to play a clip of Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo complaining Wednesday about Luna's Monday monologue and asking, 'When did the comedy and entertainment shows, Laura, become an excuse for boorish political commentary?' 'Oh no,' Ingraham replied, before appearing to read from a prompter: 'Actor Diego Luna, guest host of — I don't know who that is — guest hosted for Jimmy Kimmel. I don't watch, I don't think I've ever watched a Jimmy Kimmel.' The conservative pundits went on to play a portion of Luna's monologue from Monday, in which he noted that many undocumented workers 'pay a lot of taxes,' prompting Arroyo to wonder if Luna was 'speaking from experience' before asking, 'Why do we care?' Luna is the face of Disney's 'Star Wars' series 'Andor,' which has earned eight Emmy nods and is a spin-off of 2016's 'Rogue One' — which stars Luna and grossed over $1 billion worldwide. Ingraham said, 'I don't even know who he is,' prompting Arroyo to inform her. 'Oh, OK, sorry I missed that,' Ingraham replied sarcastically in the clip. 'Oh, thank you,' said Luna over applause and laughter as the clip concluded. 'By the way, Jimmy, that's my gift to you. Yeah, whatever name this woman has, I got her to finally watch your show.' Luna didn't stop there. 'I had a dream last night that this was a Mexican talk show, with Latin music and delicious food,' he said. 'Then I woke up and remembered, 'Oh yeah, I'm the host, I can do whatever the fuck I want.' So tonight our band, Cleto y los Cletones, they have gone full mariachi.' The camera then revealed Kimmel's house band, Cleto and the Cletones, in full mariachi regalia, as Luna announced that he invited local restaurant owners Eduardo Ruiz and Alberto Bañuelos — who run the Mexican eatery Burritos La Palma — 'to feed the whole audience.'

Santa Fe Klan, Saweetie Capture a ‘Real Ride-or-Die Romance' on Single ‘Locos'
Santa Fe Klan is bringing Saweetie to his barrio. On Friday, the Mexican star released his new single, 'Locos,' which features a sexy verse from the Bay Area rap queen. 'I really loved working with Saweetie—she's super cool, great vibe… I feel like we connected, and honestly, I don't think it'll be the last time we record together,' Santa Fe Klan tells Rolling Stone. 'I'd love to do more tracks with her and with other artists from over there too. I'm super motivated about everything that's coming… this is just the beginning.' More from Rolling Stone Reneé Rapp Gets That Her Boo Wants to Be 'Mad,' But Why? Doechii and Tyler, the Creator Song 'Get Right' Debuts at Louis Vuitton Fashion Show Natanael Cano Launches Urbano Era With 'Blancanieves' The laid-back song features Santa Fe singing to a lover with whom he 'has everything' before Saweetie swings in to describe their sexual chemistry and how much he spoils her. (Santa and Saweetie try on jewelry and pose in front of a race car in the music video.) 'I've been a fan of Santa Fe Klan's music for a minute, and we've been looking for the right way to collaborate,' says Saweetie. ''Locos' is one of those magnetic records that pulls you in — it's passionate, and it captures the chaos of a real ride-or-die romance.' Santa Fe gushes about his time in the studio with Saweetie, saying 'everything flowed' even if they didn't speak the same language. 'We had translators helping us communicate, but more than words, it was the energy that connected us,' says Santa Fe. 'We had a great time, laughing, sharing ideas, and in the end something really special came out of it.' For Santa Fe, the Saweetie collaboration is just the latest collaboration in English for the Mexican star, who tapped Rick Ross for his last single, 'Diamonds.' 'I think these collaborations are going to help me reach different markets and continue to expand my fanbase,' says Santa Fe. 'Most of my fans are Latinos, from Mexico, but it's cool to open that door with people who speak English. I'm excited that more folks from other places can get to know me too.' He adds cheekily: 'Now the mission is to really learn English so I can start writing and singing in the langauage. I want to keep growing, break boundaries with my music, and connect with more people no matter the language.'
