Eva Longoria wows in ruched orange mini dress while promoting her Casa Del Sol tequila in Miami

Eva Longoria was seen promoting Casa Del Sol tequila at the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival in Miami on Friday.

The 46-year-old actress appeared to be enjoying her time at the event as she posed for several photos with different bottles of the spirit.

Longoria donned a lovely short-sleeved bright orange ruched dress while appearing at the festival. 

The performer initially launched the company, which she co-founded, at last year’s Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, and she has since been heavily involved in promoting her line.

The Desperate Housewives actress added several elements of shine to her outfit with numerous articles of jewelry.

The performer’s lovely brunette locks fell onto her shoulders and contrasted perfectly with the bright tone of her clothing.

Longoria previously spoke about Casa Del Sol during an extensive interview with Food & Wine, where she pointed out that her company was attempting to create a new standard for tequila production.

‘You would think there were more Mexican-backed brands, and you would think there were more women in it, but there aren’t. Our distillery is 100% Mexican, and the CEO of the distillery is a woman,’ she said.

The performer also expressed that she was not necessarily interested in financial gain when she began working with the company. 

‘For me, it was never, “Oh, what’s the next thing I could sell?” There is really an authentic connection I have with not only the category of tequila, but this particular brand,’ she said. 

Longoria downplayed her status as a public figure in favor of promoting her brand’s ethical practices when it came to tequila production.

‘Instead of being celebrity-forward, Casa del Sol is about the legacy and the liquid. It’s really about the tradition of sustainability—how they farm the agave, how they pay fair wages,’ she said. 

She added that ‘tequila can’t be celebrity-led because it is about craftsmanship and art.’

Longoria also stated that being ‘able to honor the tradition and craftsmanship of what tequila is, that’s what I’m most excited about. We need to have more friends that make tequila this way, instead of an exploitative way.’

The Dora and the Lost City of Gold actress pointed out that the individuals who produced Casa Del Sol’s spirits were trained professionals who had mastered their craft over time.

‘We have so many generations of tequila makers behind us. They know exactly what they are doing in the tequila region; they have done it for centuries,’ she said.

Longoria concluded by stating that she had switched out one of her favorite nightcaps for a glass of her own spirit. 

‘Having wine at the end of the day really put me to sleep. Having tequila at the end of the day is like a high five,’ she stated.
