For this year’s Dia de los Muertos, Jose Cuervo focuses on the significance of the celebration.

While make people are familiar with the visuals, Jose Cuervo wants Dia de Los Muertos to be more than just some days on the calendar. As more people look to connect with their culture and heritage, Ofrenda Kits can bring a piece of this tradition into your home.

Although Halloween is usually the big celebration on October 31, Dia de Los Muertos starts on the day as well. From then until November 2, many Hispanic families look to honor their family members who have passed. From visual remembrances to food offerings, these days are a reminder that a family is rooted in their past generations.

While many people turn to Jose Cuervo as their preferred tequila, the brand is looking to use its platform to bring part the Hispanic culture to a broader audience. Even if your family does not celebrate Dia de Los Muertos, these Ofrenda kits can share a sense of the ritual behind this annual tradition.

Inside the Ofrenda kits are several traditional offerings including sugar skills, a candle, picture frame and marigolds. Additionally, each kit includes information on the film Todavia Despues. This film discusses the annual tradition in Pomuch, Mexico and how that community stays connected to its rich culture.

The Ofrenda kits will be available to 300 people. To register to win one of these kits, please visit cuervodiademuertos.fooji.com.
