Ladydragón Craft Tequila launches in UK
Female-founded additive-free Ladydragón Craft Tequila has secured a listing with Fine Wine Sellers in the UK.
Launched in October 2024, Ladydragón Craft Tequila was created by JC Cortez and Heather Ann.
The small-batch Tequila is produced from 100% pure agave in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico, and is additive-free with no added sugar.
The female-led brand offers a range of Tequilas, including blanco, plata, reposado and Cristalino expressions.
The blanco, Ladydragón’s flagship expression, is bottled at 38% ABV and is now available in the UK from Fine Wine Sellers at £68.99 (US$87) per 700ml bottle.
The Tequila offers aromas of sweet roasted agave, fresh citrus and florals, joined on the palate by herbal and earthy agave notes.
Ladydragón’s signature serve is mixed with soda water with a squeeze of lime and a maraschino cherry or red rose petal garnish.
Cortez said: “We are very excited to launch Ladydragón Craft Tequila in the UK, a London-based craft made in Mexico. This is a Tequila created by women for women, and we can’t wait to start sharing it with the world.”
The brand
Ladydragón is named after the Chinese zodiac sign of the dragon, corresponding to the year founder Cortez was born.
The inclusion of ‘Lady’ in the name pays homage to co-founder Ann’s English heritage and represents the home of Ladydragón Craft Tequila in London.
The label design features roses inspired by the vibrant flowers, ribbons, and headpieces used in ballet folklórico, a traditional Mexican cultural dance.
Additionally, the dragon silhouette on the bottle is surrounded by colourful flowers and butterflies, reflecting the Ladydragón philosophy of being ‘unapologetically feminine and empowered.’
At the distillery, the Ladydragón bottles are filled by women, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to empowering women throughout all process stages, from production to consumption.
The brand champions environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and places these values at the company’s core.
This month we shone a light on the Black-owned brands making waves in the industry, including Geneba, which has also been created to be a ‘Tequila for women’.
