Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo Launched Calirosa Tequila at Their New L.A. Home 

“YOU HAD ME AT PINK TEQUILA,” a glowing neon sign read behind the entryway bar in Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine’s home in Los Angeles last Monday. Ever the consummate hosts, the couple welcomed guests with a roaring fire and a deluge of tequila cocktails, crafted with their very own spirit, Calirosa Tequila. To the untrained eye, these bottles could be mistaken for any run-of-the-mill Rosé, but as guests would soon find out, they were anything but.

The brand is the latest project from the husband-wife duo, who, in addition to their day jobs as a world-renowned crooner and runway fixture, have developed this single-origin tequila with the help of the Real family, producers of tequila since 1942 in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico. They join the ranks of celebrity tequila purveyors like Kendall Jenner, P. Diddy, and of course, George Clooney and Rande Gerber, who famously sold their Casamigos empire for a staggering $1 billion in 2017. 

“I love to socialize and host events, so to have all of our closest friends and supporters here with us this evening is so special,” Prinsloo, sporting a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier trompe l’oeil gown, told Vogue. “We haven’t been able to do it for so long due to the Pandemic, and to open our house tonight for the first time since we redid it is amazing.” 

Indeed, despite the flashy spirits on offer, the home’s architecture and decor did their best to steal the show. Situated in the Pacific Palisades, the Clements Design ranch boasts near-priceless furniture, many, many artworks, and Levine’s row of polished Grammy awards. It also includes a 12-seat dining room adorned with artwork by Richard Prince, but a larger space was needed for the evening’s crowd, which included Rachel Zoe with husband Roger Berman, art advisor Meredith Darrow, and producer Cash Warren. Therefore, the yoga studio was the only suitable space and for the occasion, it was reimagined with dark florals, black tapered candles, and a row of handsome Calirosa bottles full of the darker, 36-month aged Extra Anejo tequila. “It’s so cozy and moody in here, I don’t even recognize the room,” quipped Allison Statter. 

Guests dined on a menu of Levine and Prinsloo’s favorite dishes, including a little gem salad and wild-caught sea bass with braised fennel, and closed out the evening with a tasting of the rare aged Extra Anejo, led by Levine. “It’s Calirosa’s third offering and personally my favorite because I haven’t tasted a better tequila,” Levine toasted with cheers from the crowd. “But to be able to celebrate and share it with you all in our home is awesome. I love it.”
