Raise A Glass For The Show Pony, WEF’s New Signature Cocktail

All the world’s most celebrated sporting events have their defining drinks — the Mint Julep at the Kentucky Derby, the Honey Deuce at the U.S. Open. They are cocktails that become part of the lore, the experience and the sense of occasion.

In 2026, the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) debuts one of its own: the Show Pony, the event’s first-ever official signature cocktail, crafted exclusively in partnership with Chrome Horse Society Tequila.

Designed to embody the spirit of WEF — athleticism, sophistication and the unmistakable energy of Wellington’s winter circuit — the Show Pony marks a new chapter in the event’s evolution and its commitment to elevating the spectator experience.

“WEF is more than a competition — it’s a lifestyle, a community and a vibrant atmosphere unlike anything else in equestrian sport,” Wellington International CEO Murray Kessler said. “With the Show Pony, we’re giving spectators and riders a signature moment they can savor and share. It’s fresh, modern and made to become a part of the excitement that brings people back to Wellington year after year.”

Crafted with Chrome Horse Society’s triple-distilled tequila, the Show Pony is a refined, contemporary cocktail. Served in a limited-edition commemorative collectible cup created exclusively for the 2026 season, it’s poised to become a symbol of Wellington International’s winter circuit.

“WEF brings together the best riders, horses and fans from around the world. It deserves a signature drink that reflects that level of excellence,” said Jack Morgan, founder of Chrome Horse Society. “The Show Pony is bright, bold and celebratory — a perfect match for the festival’s energy.”

WEF spectators can enjoy the Show Pony throughout WEF 2026 at the Central Park Bar, the Modon International Club, the BrainJuice Tiki Hut and the many satellite bars around the showgrounds.

Chrome Horse is a luxury tequila crafted from 100 percent Blue Weber agave, triple-distilled for an exceptionally smooth and clean profile. Committed to sustainability and style, Chrome Horse combines modern design with traditional methods to create tequila that’s as unforgettable in taste as it is in presentation.
