Kahlo tequila fuels Fridamania row


"It seems likely Frida Kahlo would have approved, at least of the contents if not the packaging. The heirs of the Mexican artist are launching a tequila bearing her name for sale in the US. 'It has been an exciting adventure to develop and launch a product that would characterise my Aunt Frida - her love for Mexico, her strength and her passion for life,' said her niece, Isolda Kahlo. 'Tequila, her favourite drink, accompanied her in the greatest moments of her life. Frida Kahlo Tequila is made in Jesus Maria in the highlands of Jalisco in Mexico and comes in three varieties, retailing at $50 , $65 and $90 a bottle. Each bottle bears a picture of Kahlo and sells under the slogan 'Being original is no sin'."
