#GhostYourValentine This Year With These Cocktails

By Isabella Cruz

Forget the roses and chocolates; this Valentine’s Day, Ghost Tequila is on a mission to turn ‘ghosting’ into a bold and spicy celebration of modern relationships.

“Have you been ghosted? Have you ghosted someone? We recently learned that about 76 percent of people have experience with ‘ghosting.’ We’re turning the tables on love’s disappearing act and making it as hot as our tequila,” says Maya Rubalcaba, Ghost Tequila’s Marketing Director. “Love is messy, love is spicy, and Ghost Tequila is here for it all. Join us in embracing the chaos with our #GhostYourValentine campaign.”
