PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY
Born in Detroit, Michigan - Green Flame Tequila owner Ron Cantrell was never known for his love of tequila, but he has always had a fascination and adoration for traveling to Mexico. Eight years ago, on one of many incredible trips to the beautiful country of Mexico - an idea sparked. What if we made an agave-based liquor that you could mix with anything, as can be done with vodka?
Fast forward three years later on a business trip to Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico - the birthplace of Tequila. Ron set out to the hills and farmlands of Tequila, Mexico to discover a distillery capable of making his unique vision come to fruition. After many meetings, no distillery was able to envision what he had sought out to create. They all told him that it will never work. Right before he was about to throw in the towel and give up; he met Mario and Jesus - the owners of a small distillery that had the same vision that Ron was dreaming of. But how does an electrician start a Tequila company?
It took a year to figure out all of the rules and regulations on both the American and Mexican side. It took two more years of determination and perseverance and lots of traveling back and forth - bringing countless different samples back to his home in Detroit, Michigan. With the help of his friends he has carefully selected a variety of delightfully flavored agave spirits. While waiting for approval the COVID-19 pandemic hit. He once again thought long and hard about giving up ... but the passion was still there. In January of 2021 he finally received the approvals needed to begin distribution of GREEN FLAME TEQUILA.
