Despite its status as a sport for more mature generations, golf is undergoing a cultural transformation due to the new edge young people bring to the sport. In an effort to modernize golf culture and traditions, Tequila Avión partnered with former professional athletes Nick Young and Victor Cruz on the new dueling Caddie’s Caddy Kits. These curated sets contain golf course essentials, along with the ingredients to mix signature cocktails inspired by the two golf enthusiasts.

Each limited-edition Caddie’s Caddy Kit ($230) includes a 750ml bottle from Tequila Avión’s Reserva Range, ingredients for an original cocktail inspired by Young or Cruz, and a crystal decanter. The kits also feature golf accessories, including a bespoke leather nickel bag readied for the course with a ball marker, bar towel, and limited and collectible golf balls autographed by the sports legends themselves. The kits are only available for a limited time at SourcedCraftCocktails.com.

With options for both spice lovers and those with a sweet tooth, the Tequila Avión’s Caddie’s Caddy Kit is perfectly curated for your golf course needs. The Tequila Avión x Nick Young Swaggy Marg Bundle features Avión Reserva 44 Extra Anejo paired with the Swaggy Marg mixture containing watermelon, lime, and honey. While the Tequila Avión x Victor Cruz Spicy Cruzarita Bundle includes a smooth Avión Reserva Cristalino with a signature formula of homemade summer pepper syrup and lime, adding the spice to the Spicy Cruzarita.

Young and Cruz hosted an invite-only event in New York on June 13 to debut their specialty cocktail kit. Guests watched the duo compete against each other in a putting competition, with the loser having to caddy for the winner. Cruz, seeming confident, stated, “Nick may be swaggy, but I’m already salsa dancing to the finish line.”

For Young it’s about a good golf swing, great tequila, and even better company. He shared, “I may be a bucket on the court, but I’ve been working on my swing too. I’m excited to hit the course with my man Victor Cruz and sip on some of this Avión.”
