Thomas Rhett’s Mom Helped Taste Test Tequila
Thomas Rhett and his cousin, Jeff Worn’s new tequila brand, Dos Primos, has been a family affair.
In addition to the obvious partnership between Thomas and Jeff, Thomas said that his mom was among his taste testers and she is definitely a tough customer.
“My biggest test was on my mom. My mom is a devoted Bota Box wine drinker. That is her drink of choice. She does not mess around with tequila in the slightest and I said, ‘Mom, I realize that you don’t like tequila but your son did just put out a tequila brand so you’re gonna have to try it,’ and she tried it and she said, ‘Now, I could drink that,’ and I said, ‘Why,’ and she goes, ‘Cause it’s really, really smooth,’ and that was the word that I think me and Jeff were going for.”
The name Dos Primos is Spanish for “Two Cousins.”
Dos Primos is available in a 750 ml bottle in select U.S. markets now and nationwide soon.
