Eva Longoria’s $100M Tequila Empire

From Desperate Housewife to Business Mogul

In 2021, Eva Longoria launched Casa Del Sol, a tequila brand honoring her Mexican roots. Unlike celebrity-backed liquors, Longoria immersed herself in every detail—from sourcing blue agave in Jalisco to designing the bottle’s sun-inspired motif.

“This isn’t a side hustle. It’s a love letter to my culture,” she says.

Crafting Liquid Gold

Casa Del Sol stands out through:

• Female Leadership: An all-women team of maestras tequileras (master distillers).

• Aging Process: Matured in French cognac barrels for a smooth finish.

• Sustainability: Partnerships with local farmers to preserve biodiversity.

Market Domination

Within a year, Casa Del Sol expanded to 1,500+ U.S. stores and 12 countries. A 2023 Forbes valuation pegged the brand at $100M, rivaling George Clooney’s Casamigos.

Longoria credits her success to authenticity: “People taste the story in every sip.”

Philanthropy and Legacy

A portion of profits funds scholarships for Latinx students. “Success means nothing if you don’t lift others,” she states.

Key Takeaway: Longoria’s empire blends cultural pride with savvy business. She proves that purpose-driven brands resonate deeply in a crowded market.
