Benji Rodriguez: Padre Azul Artist Edition 2024 – Tequila meets Art, Magic and a Cause

Padre Azul is back with something truly special – for the fourth time in a row the Artist Edition 2024 is proudly presented.

This isn’t just tequila, it’s an experience that blends bold flavors, stunning artwork, and a meaningful mission. Teaming up with the brilliant Mexican artist Benji Rodríguez, Padre Azul has created a bottle that’s as much a piece of art as it is a drink.

Oh, and did we mention? A portion of the proceeds goes to the #RamonPorVida Foundation, making this more than just a bottle of premium tequila. It’s a way to make an impact while savoring something extraordinary.


Art That Pops Off the Bottle

This year’s Artist Edition brings a whole new level of style. Benji Rodríguez’s design for the 2024 Edition is vibrant, surreal, and full of life.

He names it “Encuentro Espiritual”, capturing the magical dance between life and death. Think bold colors, swirling patterns, and a vibe that pulls you into a world where friends, family, and unforgettable moments take center stage.

It’s the kind of bottle you’ll want to keep on display long after the last drop is gone​.


Padre Azul x Benji Rodriguez


Benji Rodríguez, a rising star in Mexican contemporary art, is known for his vibrant and dynamic works. His art blends traditional Mexican motifs with modern urban influences, creating a unique and powerful visual language.

Growing up in Jalisco, Mexico, he studied graphic design and attended various workshops, gaining an insight into many different styles and found his artistic home in naive art.

His work is precisely based on the free and soft brushstroke, yet precise enough to create impact. Colors are life, and life is within his art. Most of his inspiration comes from personal experiences and bringing them out and transporting them into the physical world is his greatest satisfaction.

His work presents magical, mythical, incredible and normal beings combined in revealing moments of learning such as love, death, compassion, loneliness, and destruction.



In Benji’s own words:

“My most magical moment arises in the moment of creation, when I take various elements like an alchemist who, with precise gestures, transforms the mundane into the extraordinary.”



His art is about capturing fleeting, joyous moments and turning them into something timeless. It’s about those friendships that feel like family, and those moments where time just… stops. It’s a perfect match for Padre Azul’s philosophy of connection, celebration, and living life to the fullest​.



About his artwork “Encuentro Espiritual:

“What I capture is the encounter between life and death, friends celebrating the moment, accompanied by magic, the magic of night and day on the other side of the picture.”

Benji Rodriguez



The joy of the moment, marked by the interplay of flowers, stars, and magical elements like the Padre Azul tequila bottle, symbolizes the unique alchemy of earth, plant, sun, water, and time, creating unforgettable memories of blooming, smiling, and spending time with friends.


Drink, Celebrate and give back

What makes the Artist Edition 2024 even cooler? It’s got heart. Padre Azul isn’t just about making tequila, they’re about making a difference. Every bottle sold helps support the #RamonPorVida Foundation, which was started by Adriana Alvarez Maxemin, wife of Padre Azul’s co-founder Hans-Peter Eder.



This year, the foundation is focused on helping the Naandi Home, a place that cares for young girls from tough backgrounds in Guadalajara. These girls, ages 0 to 18, get the support they need – from education and healthcare to a safe, loving environment. And here’s where it gets real: Guadalajara’s been hit hard by climate change, so Padre Azul is stepping in to help fund solar panels and air conditioning for the Naandi Home. It’s all about giving these kids a better, more sustainable future​.
