All about Casamigos Blanco Tequila
Longtime friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman love Casamigos. On the rocks, by the shot, at times, straight from the bottle. Tequila-filled nights with friends is how Casamigos was born. Their idea was to make the best-tasting, smoothest Tequila that didn’t have to be covered up with salt or lime. So they did. It was never intended to be released to the public. It’s actually all they serve at their homes in Mexico. George, Rande and Mike are delighted that consumers and tequila connoisseurs alike enjoy and appreciate the authenticity of Casamigos. This is quality you can taste, so raise a glass with their award-winning spirit.
