July 24th 2024.
It's no secret that the internet has made it easier than ever to keep track of all the special days and celebrations happening throughout the year. With just a quick Google search, you can uncover a plethora of interesting and obscure events that take place on any given day. For instance, did you know that today, July 24th, is International Tequila Day?
In honor of this spirited holiday, BLACK ENTERPRISE is shining a spotlight on a few Black-owned tequila brands that are sure to make your International Tequila Day celebration a hit. First up, we have TCapri Tequila, founded by Tiffany Hainesworth in 2019. Not only is Tiffany the proud owner of the company, but she also took the time to learn the ins and outs of tequila production, from the plant to the bottle. Rumor has it that TCapri Tequila is smooth, ultra premium, and hand-crafted in small batches.
Next, we have Los Hermanos 1978, created by brothers William and Donta Henson. As the name suggests, this tequila was born out of brotherhood and the desire to celebrate togetherness. What's unique about Los Hermanos 1978 is that it's not only Black-owned but also veteran-owned, making it a true representation of the American dream.
Anteel Tequila is another Black-owned brand, founded by Nayana Ferguson and her husband Don in 2018. What makes this tequila stand out is Nayana's personal connection to it - as a pancreatic and breast cancer survivor, she's passionate about tequila because it's one of the few spirits that she can enjoy due to its low sugar, carbs, and calories. Keep an eye out for Anteel's signature coconut lime blanco.
E. Cuarenta Tequila, founded in 2018 by rapper and entrepreneur Earl Stevens (aka E-40), offers a unique twist on traditional tequila. As a longtime fan of the spirit, E-40 put his own spin on it with an old-world style of crafting. And, fun fact, E. Cuarenta is a play on E-40's stage name in Spanish. You won't want to miss out on this one.
Last but certainly not least, we have Shadow Tequila, the brainchild of Teddy and Tiara Jasper. This dynamic duo serves as CEO and president of the company, respectively, and offers a variety of bold flavors to suit every taste.
So, on this International Tequila Day, let's raise a glass to these Black-owned tequila brands and all the hard work and passion that went into creating them. Just remember to drink responsibly, and as 50 Cent and Ben Crump recently advocated for, let's continue pushing for more Black representation in the luxury spirits industry. Cheers!
