A Tale of Two Tastemakers
Kevin Hart is famous for his hard work. Juan Domingo Beckmann is a tequila maker who is known for innovating, defying expectations, and setting new standards. Their love of tequila brought them together, and their pursuit of perfection brought Gran Coramino to the rest of us.

A Partnership Long in the Making
Juan Beckmann leads the most awarded tequila company in the world. His family has produced tequila from the same agave fields for 11 generations. He’s a natural partner for Kevin Hart, a tequila connoisseur known for his love for his family and community. They’re setting a new standard for tequila. And they’re sharing their successes far and wide.

BACK
Fueling Success
Every purchase of Gran Coramino helps put resources in the hands of aspiring entrepreneurs from under-represented groups in the US and Mexico, in continuation of our founders’ missions to give back to their communities. We’ll donate $1 for every bottle of Gran Coramino we sell to support the limitless potential of new business people and their communities.
IMPACT
Supporting Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses
Bringing big dreams to life is hard work. That’s why we’re proud to be teaming up with a range of nonprofit and foundation partners to help support small businesses and entrepreneurs in the US and Tequila, Mexico. With funding from our $1 per-bottle Gran Coramino give-back program, we aim to bring critical financial resources and learning opportunities to diverse-owned small businesses and entrepreneurs of color, communities that have historically been excluded from opportunities and lacked access to resources. We are proud to be teaming up with our inaugural nonprofit and foundation partners, LISC and the Beckmann Foundation, who will help design and lead these programs in 2022 to deliver community impact.
