Queer-brand brand spotlight: CASA J Artisanal Tequila is a female, LGBTQ+, and Mexican-owned brand. Founder and CEO Sofía Paloma Juárez was inspired to create her artisan, sipping tequila after reconnecting with her father in Jalisco, Mexico—which is widely recognized as the “capital of tequila.” Sofía learned everything from her father, and has spent the last few years building her brand, which officially launches this year.
