At Tales of the Cocktail 2025, Modelo celebrated its 100-year legacy with a bold showcase of flavor and culture. Across the Tasting Room and Spirited Dining, guests explored the Michelada through immersive signage, menus, posters, digital assets, and giveaways I designed. Curated visuals and details brought the brand to life, inviting guests to experience Modelo’s heritage in fresh, contemporary ways.
