Go Big or Go Home: Tres Agaves Launches The Great Garnish Takeover
Move over, basic lime wheels! The era of the maximalist garnish has officially taken over the backbar.
Tres Agaves has just launched The Great Garnish Takeover, a vibrant new campaign celebrating the art of audacious, over-the-top cocktail presentation. To pull it off, the organic tequila and mixer brand teamed up with Olive My Pickle—the fermentation-forward brand famous for its live-culture pickles, olives, kimchi, and krauts.
The campaign challenged top cocktail creators to step outside the traditional citrus box and develop bold, inventive tequila serves where the presentation is just as impactful as the liquid in the glass. From towering, savory olive stacks to unexpected pickle-brine infusions, the activation proves that a larger-than-life garnish doesn’t just look great on a menu—it completely transforms the flavor profile and drinking experience.
Check out these four incredible, creator-developed recipes from the campaign.
