Tequila Don Julio and Popeyes have joined forces in a strategic alliance to create the “Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Championship Lineup”, a menu designed to celebrate flavor and culture in six selected cities. With this marketing strategy, both companies aim to strengthen their position as leaders in their respective markets in anticipation of the Super Bowl 2025, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
What does the special Popeyes and Don Julio menu include?
The crown jewel of this alliance is the “Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Reposado Flavored Concha Chicken Sandwich.” This innovative dish combines a chicken fillet marinated in Tequila Don Julio Reposado, breaded Popeyes-style, and served in a concha, a traditional Mexican sweet bread. Paired with tequila-lime slaw, a spicy sauce, and a barrel-aged pickle, the sandwich offers a unique flavor fusion that celebrates the traditions of Louisiana and Mexico.
The menu also includes:
- “Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Reposado Flavored Louisiana Garlic Wings,” marinated in tequila and served with a special sauce.
- A strawberry-hibiscus lemonade mocktail with a spicy kick, crafted to complement the intense flavors of the food.
When and where can you try the menu?
The menu will be available for a limited time at six selected restaurants in key cities such as New York, Miami, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Kansas City. The official launch is set for January 31, 2025, with an exclusive preview for customers aged 21 and older.
In New Orleans, the host city for the Super Bowl 2025 and home of Popeyes, the menu will be available until game day, February 9, at the recently remodeled flagship restaurant on Canal Street.
