Instant rebate (IRC) and mail-in rebate (MIR) cross-merchandising offers (where legal) that combine Dos Equis Lager and Ambar with Cinco de Mayo partners including 1800 Tequila and Cholula Hot Sauce will further enhance consumer's premium experience while increasing the multi-section cash register ring for Dos Equis retail partners.
