Our founder, Sheila Morovati, sees habitual waste throughout society and creates change to protect our environment. She successfully spearheaded the ban on single-use plastic straws and cutlery in the City of Malibu. She also convinced Uber Eats and Postmates to change the default setting in their application so that users only receive plastic cutlery upon request. She saw the problem of single-use plastics during her work as President and Founder of CrayonCollection.org, an organization that redirects would-have-been trashed crayons from restaurants into the hands of the most underserved schools in our nation. Sheila noticed that family-friendly restaurants all over the United States were throwing away over 150 million still-good crayons per year simply due to HABIT. The crayons, made from paraffin wax, ended up in landfill where they do not decompose. Meanwhile, teachers spent over $900 a year on classroom supplies, and art programs were disappearing due to budget cuts.

Casa Dragones is a small batch producer with a passion for crafting exceptional tequila, one bottle at a time. Each bottle is hand-signed and numbered, hallmarking our commitment to quality. At Casa Dragones, it is our love of the craft and meticulous attention to detail that ensures an extraordinary experience and the highest possible quality.
Founded in 2008 by CEO Bertha Gonzalez Nieves, the first female accredited Masetra Tequilera, and Bob Pittman, Co-Founder of MTV & CEO of iHeart Media, Casa Dragones has earned praise from tequila aficionados, top sommeliers & renowned chefs for its distinctive taste, arome and body that reflect the care and precision that go into its production.
Casa Dragones Joven is a small batch, master blend of 100% Blue Agave silver and extra aged tequila, rested in new American oak barrels, for a complex, smooth taste that is perfect for sipping and pairing with food.
Casa Dragones Blanco is a small batch, 100% Pure Blue Agave silver tequila, crafted to deliver the true essence of agave through an innovative process that focuses on purity, for a crisp, smooth taste that is perfect to enjoy on the rocks or in signature craft cocktails.
Casa Dragones Añejo Barrel Blend, 100% Blue Agave Añejo sipping tequila, achieves its distinctive character from being matured in two different wood barrels, new French Oak and new American Oak, each selected for their individual flavor and characteristics. At the end of the aging process, both barrel styles are blended together to create a uniquely smooth, agave-forward taste profile.
