The pandemic has required everyone to continually adapt to the constant societal changes. For many, that meant online schooling, working from home, or maybe creating a new job opportunity for themselves like the Sunlit founders. When the three met through industry connections Noel, Cathy, and Corrie knew they had something special. They began thinking about launching their own line of cocktails that would not only taste great and be made from real ingredients but would also challenge the rules about what modern cocktails should be. The three wanted to create a drink that was “less boozy,” than a margarita but had all the flavor while being minimally processed. Made from the same plant as Tequila, Agave Wine provides a lighter, smoother drinking experience. Each glass of Sunlit is equivalent to one glass of wine (12% ABV) which is less than half the booziness of a traditional, restaurant-style margarita (25%-35% ABV). Their beautifully packaged wine cocktails are the first product to launch under their umbrella Girl Crush Brands. Through this company they are committed to creating equally badass brands and products that empower, inspire and support women everywhere to unapologetically #RaiseTheBar and burn the rules. We are thrilled to be a part of their journey by including them in the 2021 “Covid-style” Hollywood Swag Bags being direct gifted to the nominees honoring Oscar weekend!
