Francia Raisa Partners with Tequila CAZADORES for Exclusive "Cocina Collection"
Tequila CAZADORES, the award-winning premium tequila from the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, has unveiled a limited edition home entertaining collection in collaboration with actress, Francia Raisa. The collection, dubbed "The Cocina Collection," is a celebration of cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and the shared experience of gathering loved ones around the table.
Francia Raisa, known for her passionate advocacy of Latin culture, brings her vibrant heritage into the design and inspiration behind this collection. "I’ve always loved entertaining and hosting; it’s part of who I am," says Raisa. "It’s an honor to bring a piece of our culture to the table, blending tradition with modern elegance."
The Cocina Collection features 14 handcrafted pieces designed by artisans across Mexico, each rooted in the country’s rich artistic traditions. Every item in the collection is curated to reflect the bold spirit of Tequila CAZADORES and is distributed by Guelaguetza Designs, a company that collaborates with over 100 workshops in Mexico.
Among the items are placemats, napkins, serving plates, coasters, and elegant glassware, all meticulously crafted to elevate any dining experience. Each piece is inspired by colors of the CAZADORES’ three core tequilas: Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo. The earthy tones and vibrant patterns honor the cultural traditions behind each of these tequilas while connecting consumers with the authenticity of Mexican craftsmanship.
Artisans from Mexico play a crucial role in bringing the Cocina Collection to life. For instance, the clay pieces are created at the Godinez Hernandez workshop in Dolores Hidalgo, while Casa Textil Mendez, based in Mitla, Oaxaca, provides the beautiful textiles. The glassware, featuring the "Soplado" glass-blowing technique, is crafted by Casa Venegas from Tonala, Jalisco.
Francia Raisa’s personal connection to her Mexican roots shines throughout this collaboration. As someone deeply proud of her heritage, Raisa’s involvement was about more than just creating an aesthetic collection—it was about honoring the artisans and their traditions.
"Every detail in this collection reflects the craftsmanship and care that goes into creating something truly special," says Raisa.
The collection not only promotes the art of gathering around food and drinks but also echoes Tequila CAZADORES’ brand mantra: "Real Tequila for Real People." Whether you’re sipping Tequila CAZADORES Blanco with its crisp, citrus notes, or enjoying the spiced flavors of the Añejo, the Cocina Collection enhances the sensory experience of dining and entertaining.
True to her commitment to advocacy, Raisa was thrilled to announce that Tequila CAZADORES would be donating $20,000 to the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. This donation will support the nonprofit’s work in education, workforce development, and leadership within the Hispanic community.
"Creating this collection with Tequila CAZADORES, a brand that has a passion for creating long-lasting memories through the dining experience, is a dream come true," Raisa adds.
For those looking to bring a touch of Mexico into their home gatherings, the collection is available for purchase directly at Tequila Cazadores. Linkhouse
