Star Shines Bright at Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony

honor with themed-cocktails featuring his award-winning spirits.

Located inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Cabo Wabo Cantina will serve up the tiki vibes and rockin’ good times synonymous with the surname Hagar through two exclusive cocktails The Rock Star, a red tinged citrus delight made with Sammy’s Beach Bar Platinum Rum, orange curaçao, pineapple juice, grenadine and sweet & sour mix; and El Lucero, a cocktail that harnesses the power of Santo Mezquila, a collaboration with ceremony emcee Guy Fieri, combining it with freshly crushed jalapeños, orange and pineapple juices, chipotle pepper and agave for an on-the-rocks love affair with the Bajian peninsula.
Reflecting the lyrics to his #1 hit, Hagar is “standin’ on top of the world” with yet another career highpoint which will be celebrated at Cabo Wabo Beach Club, located beachside at The Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach, with a namesake cocktail, Top of the World. Equally chill and laid back but with a hard rockin’ kick, the cocktail is crafted with Sammy’s Beach Bar Platinum Rum, lime juice, pineapple syrup, mint leaves and club soda. This Red Rocker classic is available on the Beach Club’s regular drink menu as the Maui-jito.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will honor Hagar with the 2,779th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, April 30, at 11:30 a.m. PT at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, adjacent to the iconic Amoeba Music.

About Santo Spirits:
Santo Spirits was born from a decades-old friendship between Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar and internationally renowned chef Guy Fieri. Having introduced the U.S. to super premium 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila with his first brand back in 1996, Sammy teamed up with Guy in 2019 looking for one thing – bold, authentic flavor achieved through uncompromising quality. Of course, being Sammy and Guy, they also wanted to make the best tequilas in the world. Paramount to their vision, all Santo Spirits tequila products must be additive free and carefully crafted using time-honored traditional methods that allow the agave to shine through. This led them to the famed El Viejito Distillery, founded in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico in 1937 and helmed by a third-generation distiller. Santo Spirits’ award-winning portfolio includes a Blanco, Reposado, Añejo and a 110-proof Blanco Tequila, along with Mezquila – the world’s first tequila and mezcal blend.
