King St. Vodka was created by Kate Hudson after she noticed a lack of female leadership in the industry. It’s distilled in Santa Barbara, CA, and uses GMO-free corn and alkaline water in a process that creates an end product with “a hint of sweet vanilla flavor.”

Eva Longoria is the co-founder of the ultra-premium tequila brand Casa Del Sol, which launched in September 2021. The spirit is made from hand-selected, 100% Blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico.

Tequila brand Calirosa is co-founded by Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine, and launched in the summer of 2021. The pink-tinted drink is created in Jalisco, Mexico by the Real family, who have been producing tequila since since 1942.

Cameron Diaz co-founded wine brand Avaline with her friend, entrepreneur Katherine Power, in 2020. Their goal? To give consumers clean wine that’s actually transparent about its ingredients.

The Delevingne sisters (Poppy, Cara, and Chloe) first launched their Prosecco brand Della Vite in the UK in 2020 before bringing it stateside just over a year later. The line includes a range of vegan Proseccos, which are made with Glera grapes from the Valdobbiadene valley in Italy.

Canned cocktail brand Onda was co-founded in 2020 by Shay Mitchell thanks to an obsession with tequila soda and inspiration from ‘90s surf style. It’s made with real blanco tequila from a woman-owned distillery located in Jalisco, Mexico.

Nina Dobrev and Julianne Hough’s new venture, Fresh Vine Wine, is one of the latest celeb-founded alcohol brands to hit the market. Launched early 2021, the wines are meant to complement an active lifestyle by being low sugar, low carb, and gluten-free.

Avid Outlander fans are most likely already familiar with Sam Heughan’s new Scotch whisky, The Sassenach. But if you’re not, the drink was inspired by the Scottish Highlands and is already racking up awards.

Though you probably know Bethenny Frankel as the Real Housewives of New York star, she also founded Skinnygirl Cocktails. Though she’s since sold it, the brand is still going strong with a large, calorie-conscious collection.
