Earlier this week Partida Tequila kicked off their brand new online marketing campaign, 'Bad Tequila Blows', through their website and social networks. The text and accompanying video lay particular focus on how poor tequila will often leave the drinker with horrible, twisted facial expressions, flared nostrils, rippling cheeks and clenched teeth. Or as the 'Tequila Institute' like to call it, 'Shitty Tequila Face'.

Worth noting is that Partida appear to be taking shot at Patron, the 'Leading Brand' featured in the campaign video. For obvious reasons the label and name of Patron is neither seen nor mentioned, but the unmistakable shape of the bottle is there for anyone who knows their tequila. Hopefully Patron have the decency to take it all in their stride.
