The ‘Launderita’ cocktail mixer is the first of its kind and will make its first ever appearance in Leeds.
Celebrating National Margarita Day this week has been a great excuse to pull out the bottle(s) of Jose Cuervo Tequila.
Bartenders up and down the country have been subject to organising mass salt-rimmed glasses and slices of lime for the occassion, but thanks to an incredible new invention, Leeds’ version of National Margarita Day has been stretched out- we’re getting until Thursday 24 February to get our annual dosage of Margs in without any judgement.

Bringing a whole new meaning to ‘shaken not stirred’ is the latest cocktail invention from Jose Cuervo: the Launderita.
According to reports, a team of engineers and makers appointed by Jose Cuervo spent hundreds of hours designing the one-of-a-kind contraption that turned a washing machine into a cocktail maker, and it’s now finally ready for its debut.
It works in the same way a washing machine would too. Simply add your tequila and lime where the washing powder would usually go and then press ‘spin’ to mix it all up. To avoid any mess, there’s even a tap to pour out your perfectly-mixed Margarita.
Leeds is the first stop on it’s mini UK tour, making the grand unveiling all the more special. Guests at Cuckoo this Thursday will get to be the first to watch the machine dispense free cocktails.
The bar crawl for the Launderita machine will see the invention visit The Wash House in Manchester, a hidden bar inside a laundrette where the contraption is sure to feel right at home on Friday 25 February. The washing machine margarita mixer will then travel to London and appear at Barrio in Shoreditch on Saturday 26 February.
If you can’t make it to the unveiling in Leeds and don’t fancy a trip across country, you can still enter to win one of 50 Jose Cuervo Citrus Bliss Margeritas mixed by the Launderita itself, as well as a limited edition Jose Cuervo glass.
To get all the details you need to enter, visit the Jose Cuervo Launderita pop-up website. You’ll be asked to enter your shipping address, incase you’re a lucky winner, but note that this does not guarantee you the products themselves.
