Brooks Nader and her sister Grace Ann are diving into the world of agave with a witchy new Astral Tequila campaign celebrating the long-awaited release of the Practical Magic sequel and nodding to the margarita-fueled chaos of its most iconic scene.
Originally released in 1998 and starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, “Midnight Margaritas” in cult classic Practical Magic celebrate the raucous nature of a never-ending bottle of tequila. Even in 2026, the chaotic and playful scene’s impact is felt, Astral Tequila said. “The ‘Midnight Margaritas’ tradition embodies the same energy that’s at the heart of Astral Tequila: the best nights are made brighter by the people you share them with, especially with an Astral Midnight Margarita in-hand,” said Jenn Rapp, Director, Portfolio Tequila & Mezcal at Diageo North America.
Baywatch star Brooks Nader and sister Grace Ann lend their own vibrant spin to Astral Tequila, which appears in the film and serves as the official tequila partner of Warner Bros ahead of the buzzed-about sequel’s September 10th release. Astral Tequila also encourages fans to (responsibly) whip up a midnight margarita of their own with a film-inspired recipe.
In an Instagram post teasing the playful partnership, Brooks, the September/October 2025 Maxim cover star, noted that “midnight margaritas” are “about to be spilled.” The partnership even traces the journey of the film’s sisters in the upcoming “It’s Midnight Somewhere” Margarita Tour, stopping in four cities ahead of the picture’s September release.
Brooks and her sisters recently sizzled onscreen in sultry shades for Quay Australia, while the new five-part social microdrama series features two of the “Love Thy Nader” sisters and “brings the film’s signature sisterly shenanigans to life” and will appear across Astral Tequila social channels.
“Honestly, this felt very on brand for us,” said Brooks and Grace Ann Nader. “Sisters, Astral Midnight Margaritas, a little harmless chaos, and quoting Practical Magic all night? Say less! We had the best time bringing ‘It’s Midnight Somewhere’ to life, making each other laugh, and paying homage to a movie that’s all about the importance of sisterhood.”
It’s not the first time Brooks Nader has popped a bottle in celebratory fashion. Earlier this summer, she partnered with Josh Cellars to share her favorite summer wine, telling Maxim in an interview that “honestly, Josh (Cellars) and I go way back. I feel like that was where I first discovered wine was Josh back in Louisiana.” For now, Brooks and Grace Ann Nader are freshening up 100 percent Blue Weber agave Astral Tequila in vivid fashion, with a bottle of Astral Tequila Blanco running at an SRP of $32.99 online at outlets like Total Wine.
