We’re toasting to with a bold, one-of-a-kind spirit, BiatchTequila. BI**CH is a women-founded and award-winning tequila brand that celebrates confidence and unapologetic authenticity.

Seasoned entrepreneur and BI**CH Tequila founder, Sue Hrib, wanted to create a brand that celebrates and empowers women. That unapologetic, feminine energy is at the heart of the brand and BI**CH shows up in style to every occasion.

The BI**CH magic begins deep in El Arenal, Jalisco, where jimadors harvest Blue Weber agave that has been growing for a minimum of seven years. The passionate team behind BI**CH ensures that each step is done with intention to develop the bold, smooth flavor the brand is known for.

The brand also keeps sustainability top of mind, using the full agave plant, even repurposing leftover fibers into biodegradable pallets. Every detail matters and BI**CH tequila proves that crafting a tequila can be as refined as it is bold.

This , shake up a flavorful twist on a classic with a spicy passionfruit margarita.
