Eiza showed her love for Casa Azul back in 2018 at the Oscars, when she took a shot from a shoe filled with tequila. “Actual footage of me and Guillermo drinking Casa Azul at the Oscars,” she wrote, sharing a clip of the red carpet moment on social media. “Arriba, abajo, al centro y pa’ dentro,” Eiza said before taking a sip. “Oh my god that is tequila!” she added.

“As a Mexican woman, Tequila is a deep part of my culture and heritage,” the actress said about the partnership, stating that she wants to give back to her community, and chose Casa Azul for their values, after “spending time with the multi-generational family that owns the farm and distillery in Mexico, it was clear I found a brand that loves and respects Tequila and Mexican culture like me.”
