Jumby Bay Island and Casamigos launch beach pop-up

Jumby Bay Island in Antigua has partnered with premium tequila brand Casamigos to launch a limited-edition Casamigos Margarita Beach Shack.

The laid-back, sunset beach bar will offer a specially curated Casamigos cocktail menu served by Jumby Bay’s bartenders who have been expertly trained by the tequila brands’s master mixologists.

Cocktails featured on the tailor-made menu include The Spicy Cucumber Jalapeno Margarita, a combination of Casamigos Blanco Tequila with fresh lime, simple syrup, cucumber slices and jalapenos, shaken and served over ice for a refreshing tipple with a kick.

As well as The Casa Ginger Mint Paloma, which mixes Casamigos Reposado Tequila, grapefruit juice, fresh lime, sugarcane and ginger syrups and mint in a long glass, and the classic Casa Repo Rocks is Casamigos Reposado Tequila served straight up and on the rocks.

The resort will also host a weekly sunset beach experience serving up ice-cold drinks and smooth shots of tequila as day turns to night and when the pop-up concludes.

Alongside specially curated cocktails, the Caribbean private island resort has also set up a Margarita Hotline for drinks to be delivered to suites, rooms and private residences by a Casamigos bar on wheels.

The mobile bar will serve freshly mixed margaritas, spiked popsicles and ice-cold shots of tequila.

Villa and private residence guests can also request that a pop-up bar be set up on their property for a special occasion, as well as having the option of pre-stocking their fridge with Casamigos spirits and cocktail ingredients.

Meanwhile, other classic Jumby Bay experiences have been given the Casamigos twist, like the Margarita Sunset Cruise, a sundowner catamaran trip with specialty cocktails.

Founded by George Clooney, Rande Geber and Mike Meldman, Casamigos is a small batch, ultra-premium range of tequilas made from hand-selected 100% Blue Weber agaves grown in the rich clay soil and cool climate of Mexico’s Jalisco Highlands.

Varieties include Casamigos Blanco Tequila, which rests for two months and is crisp and clean with subtle hints of citrus, vanilla and sweet agave; Casamigos Reposado Tequila, a soft and slightly oaky blend with hints of caramel and cocoa with a silky texture and medium to long smooth finish; and Casamigos Añejo Tequila, aged for 14 months it features a pure and refined complex aroma with soft caramel and vanilla notes.

Once the pop-up concludes, the resort will continue the collaboration by serving Casamigos as the house pouring tequila.
