Drink of Choice

After months of baby-induced abstaining, I’m back on the bottle. With a need to make my buzz as low calorie, flavorful and quick-hitting as possible, I’m all over tequila (probably because unlike most of my friends it wasn’t all over me during my college-drinking days). As a tequila sipper, I’ve been on a tequila tasting tour and time and time again, I come back to Patron. So you can imagine my delight upon walking into the Dr. Drew Lifechangers’ greenroom to set eyes on John Paul DeJoria, founder of Patron. I’ve met John Paul before and while I’ve long-admired his life story and philosophy, and have always greeted him with enthusiasm, this was prior to my tequila drinking days – so I think he may have been a little taken aback by my over-zealous, extremely knowledgeable and obviously authentic love of his product.

While my focus was on his tequila, John Paul, who has always been in the business of bettering lives, was quick to tell me about JP Selects, an online marketplace for products focusing on brands that pride themselves on the sustainability of their production and in the social causes they support. It’s via JP Selects that John Paul provided the woman we worked with on Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers with a year’s lease so she could move out of her car. I’ll share the link to the show with you next week, but in the mean time, check out JP Selects: http://www.jpselects.com
