In honor of Women’s History Month, La Adelita Tequila is celebrating with new programs named for Las Adelitas, the women who fought in the 1919 Mexican Revolution.

The Adelita Army is a brand ambassador program that empowers female tequila enthusiasts and hospitality professionals who embody strength, power and bravery. La Adelita Tequila will increase their grant contribution to support the professional advancement of Adelita Army members and will also donate a portion of each bottle sold to charity. 

“The statue in our village square commemorates the sacrifices made by Las Adelitas, and in particular, the amazing women of our region who fought to preserve their community in Capilla de Guadalupe,” Chris Radomski, Founder of La Adelita Tequila, said. “We’re honored to shine a light on women who share our passion for amazing tequila and making the world a better place.”

La Adelita Tequila is a single estate “Terroir Tequila,” sourced entirely from blue agave parcels in the Jalisco Highlands. Extremely labor-intensive, single estate tequila accounts for only 2% of all production and is prized for its expressive character.

The history of La Adelita dates to 1885, when the family of Don Antonio Faustino de Aceves y Casillas built the town of Hacienda La Capilla in the shadow of the Cerro Gordo mountains. Planted in ancient volcanic soils at 7,300 feet in the heart of the Jalisco Highs sub-region, blue agave thrives in this area. La Adelita’s single estate plantings are still farmed by the descendants of Don Antonio.
