On October 30, 2015, in Los Angeles, California, Casamigos co-founder Rande Gerber and Discovery Land Company CEO Mike Meldman threw their annual Casamigos Tequila “Brought To You By Those Who Drink It” Halloween party at a private residence in Los Angeles.
The coveted event has had so many people show up the past few years (and this year was no exception) that they had to move it to a new secret location at a private residence in Beverly Hills.
Guests enjoyed signature cocktails including the Perfect Margarita and Spicy Cucumber Jalapeno Margarita that were served over a custom built Casamigos bar, made from reconditioned Casamigos barrels.
A number of stations serving fresh tacos, burgers and a selection of desserts were positioned around the venue and shots of Casamigos were being served from the Casamigos Tequila branded ice sculpture.
Costume highlights included Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford arriving as members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, Mike Meldman as golf pro Ricky Fowler and Ricky Fowler as his caddy, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum as Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat characters, Lori Laughlin as Tippi Hedren’s character Melanie Daniels from Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds,” Molly Sims as a cougar, Brian Grazer as a member of Run DMC, Jessica Alba as Romy White from “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion,” Cash Warren as Maverick from “Top Gun,” Seth Macfarlane as Chewbacca, Josh Duhamel as Karl Lagerfeld, Fergie as Choupette and Serena Williams, known for her lavish costume parties, as an 80’s prom queen.
