In Honor of National Margarita Day Tomorrow Casa Noble Tequila Mixologist Develops "The Mayan Margarita"

CELEBRATING NEW BEGINNINGS AND NOT THE END OF THE WORLD

TEQUILA, JALISCO, Mexico, Feb. 21, 2012 -- This December 21, 2012 marks the end of the Mayan Calendar and to some people that means the end of the world. Casa Noble Tequila disagrees with that notion and in honor of National Tequila Day tomorrow, February 22nd, celebrated marketer and mixologist David Yan pays tribute to the event with a new recipe called "The Mayan Margarita."

"Maybe the end of the world on the Mayan calendar was really a practical joke by the Mayans who simply ran out of room on the round stone tablet," Yan said. "Because it is National Margarita Day tomorrow, we felt like we should not wait to find out. In honor and the hope for new beginnings, we developed this delicious new margarita."

The making of the Margarita can be seen on here: (it was filmed on location at noted restaurant La Tequila: Comida Mexicana in Guadalajara, Mexico.)

The recipe and preparation is as follows:

• 2 oz Casa Noble Crystal
• 2 oz Grapefruit juice (hand squeezed)
• 1 oz Lime juice
• 1 oz Tangerine juice
• 3/4 oz Agave nectar
• Teaspoon of Tajin ground chili powder
• Dry hibiscus flowers

Mix all ingredients in a shaker; add one scoop of ice and SHAKE until fingers are cold. Serve strained in short glass filled with ice, and the rim garnished with a touch of agave nectar and Tajin chili powder. Place a dried hibiscus flower as garnish on top of the ice.
Yan added, "So from our Noble House, Casa Noble, to yours, raise your glasses to the years ahead and many more to come. Salud!"

The deliciously simple Mayan Margarita is a fabulous way to celebrate National Margarita Day. Follow the steps to make this tasty and unique margarita with David Yan, and celebrate with the Casa Noble Family of ultra-premium, handcrafted tequilas. For more details please visit www.casanoble.com .

Sunday Pictures in partnership with DLSHS – online producers of cross-platform viral hit The Tunnel – and innovative distributors ScreenLaunch, will release ANDY X globally for USD$6.99 as a DRM-free* (digital rights management free) download or streamed for a 72 hour rental period from its website: www.andyxthemovie.com.

The film will also launch with a groundbreaking introductory offer for all Facebook fans of ANDY X (www.facebook.com/andyxthemovie). This offer allows fans of the movie to use their Facebook friends as currency when paying to watch the film. One Facebook friend equals one cent. Fans can login to Facebook to calculate the number of friends they have and their balance will be deducted from the ticket fee.

ANDY X delivers a unique narrative through song, verse and montage over 40 minutes, with Sharman exploring Warhol's life from his death-bed in a New York Hospital on 22 February, 1987. To coincide with the 25^th anniversary of Andy Warhol's death the film will be launched on 22 February, 2012 on the precise minute he passed away at 6.21am 22^nd of February, 2012 on andyxthemovie.com .

On choosing to launch the film in this way, Jim said, "Cyberspace seems the perfect place to explore the Warhol enigma. I imagine Warhol would have loved the net."

This online film experience marks the return of iconic Australian director Jim Sharman to the screen, albeit an online screen. Jim is famed for pushing conventional boundaries with his theater, opera and cult cinema creations, including the musical extravaganza The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The website creates an immersive experience through the use of sophisticated 3D graphics viewable with Adobe Flash 11 technology.

Esteemed film critic Richard Kuipers has described the film as "a poetic and pulsating eulogy… Sharman takes us on a ride to stimulate and excite everyone from Warhol buffs to those who might have only heard the name and know it has something to do with soup cans." The film was developed and directed by Jim Sharman from a script by Stephen Sewell and an original music score by Basil Hogios, with lyrics by Sewell and Hogios. ANDY X stars rising young stars Akos Armont and Sheridan Harbridge; with Nick Simpson-Deeks, Gillian Jones and David Denis.
