Celebrating 2️⃣ Years In Business and… 🎉
•
In case you missed our earlier post: WE✨ HAVE✨ NEWS✨
•
As a mother-daughter team, we’ve officially spent 2 years building a space that celebrates not only who we are… but who YOU are too! 😍
•
It’s a long story, but we think it’s high time that our business name finally aligns with our mission, values and the experiences we’ve worked so hard to create for our community✨
•
*drum roll*
•
If you haven’t heard our BIG news: We’re rebranding! 💥
•
We’re beyond thrilled to share that after many months of dreaming and brainstorming… we’ve settled on a new name that we believe encapsulates all the magic we’ve collectively built in our space since opening day, February 3, 2023 💫
•
While we teased this announcement last August, we had no idea the journey it would take to get to where we are now, but we knew it needed to feel right in our hearts…🩷
•
Take comfort in knowing that our unique business model & offerings will remain the same. The ONLY thing changing is our name to better reflect who we are and what we do 😊
•
Our new logo & brand will represent not only our journey, but our commitment to creating a place where Everyone can truly be themselves. 💖
•
The best is yet to come, friends— Stay tuned for our new brand reveal coming soon! ✨

ABOUT THE BRAND: La Gritona Reposado Tequila is a subtle rested tequila distilled by Melly Barajas and her staff of women at her small distillery in Valle De Guadalupe, Jalisco (NOM 1533). Melly distills La Gritona only with agave that has matured, always with an age of between 8-10 years, and all of her piñas must originate in the iron-rich red soil of the local Jalisco highlands. These agave plants are cultivated at the height of their sugar production, near the end of the life cycle. They are put into ovens within 24 hours of trimming. La Gritona IS and ALWAYS has been additive-free 👏 👏👏
•
Perfectly sized for purses and pockets, this tequila is THE tequila you want on hand at all times (it also comes in standard 750ml as well😉)
