Cointreau and Aubrey Plaza Launch 'Any Tequila' to Remind the World That You Need Cointreau to Make a Margarita MargaRight
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cointreau, the iconic orange liqueur and the essential ingredient in The Original Margarita, is once again teaming up with the famously irreverent Aubrey Plaza for the latest evolution of the brand's MargaRight campaign. And this time, the partners are launching a new tequila brand...well, kind of.
In a world where celebrity tequila brands are increasingly popular, Aubrey Plaza and Cointreau are debuting one of their own. Introducing Any Tequila —a 100% celebrity-endorsed, 0% real brand with one very real purpose: to remind the world that it's Cointreau that makes a Margarita MargaRight. After all, it was the inventor of The Original Margarita, Margarita Sames, who said, 'A Margarita without Cointreau is not worth its salt.'
Building on the viral success of the original Make Your Margarita MargaRight campaign, Plaza returns with her signature comedic edge to help Cointreau playfully enter the ever-growing tequila chat. The twist? Her new brand, Any Tequila, isn't real. Instead, the campaign spotlights the real star of the Margarita—Cointreau—which pairs perfectly with, literally, any tequila.
As the #1 cocktail in the U.S., the Margarita has cemented its place as the year-round favorite for consumers, with consumption peaking during summer. Now more than ever, Margarita drinkers have so many options when it comes to the tequila they choose—with over 30% more options on the shelf now than just three years ago. So now is the time for Cointreau to make the decision easier for consumers. As the named brand in the original recipe, Cointreau is embracing its main character energy with a clever call to action: 'Any Tequila' can be any tequila you like, but you need Cointreau to make your Margarita MargaRight.
"At Cointreau, we do believe that making the perfect Margarita should be simple," said Nicolas Beckers, President and CEO at Rémy Cointreau Americas. "With Aubrey Plaza and Any Tequila, we're bringing that message to life in a way that's both memorable and unmistakably MargaRight — reminding everyone that Cointreau is, and always has been, the essential ingredient in the Margarita.'
Launching nationally on Thursday, June 12, 2025, the latest Cointreau MargaRight campaign arrives just in time for peak Margarita season. The campaign will appear across Cointreau's digital and social channels as well as through paid media including Connected TV, top streaming platforms, YouTube, social media, and more. To check out the new campaign, CLICK HERE.
As always, to make your Margarita MargaRight, all you need are three simple ingredients: Cointreau, Any Tequila (yes, literally—whatever tequila you prefer), and fresh lime juice. Whether you're ordering one at the bar or shaking it up at home, make your Margarita MargaRight by heading to Cointreau.com or @Cointreau_US on Instagram to learn more.
