It is produced by the first legal distillery in the state of Mississippi, Cathead Distillery, founded in 2010.

Coming in at 60 proof, the 750 mL bottle yields eight perfectly crafted espresso martinis.

Method:
• Combine ingredients

The name “Cathead,” a term first coined by Mississippi blues musicians as a nod to respected artists, is the brand’s way of paying homage to the state’s rich musical heritage; in this spirit, Cathead also donates a portion of proceeds to nonprofits that contribute to the region’s abundant arts and culture.

Born in Taiwan and immigrated to the USA at 14, Anita Chang carved a path from fashion blogging to dress designing, fueled by her academic pursuits in communications and an MBA. Her journey in fashion was inspired by the transformative experience of wearing a prom dress her mother especially handmade for her to accommodate her unique body type, a pivotal moment that reshaped her self-perception and confidence during her formative years.

The Atina Collection embodies that spirit of reinvention and personal empowerment, offering dresses that celebrate the unique contours of each wearer, envisaging the tender care of a mother’s hands shaping a dress for her daughter. Anita’s designs evoke elegant sensuality, with each garment crafted to accentuate feminine allure without forgoing comfort or ease of movement. Anita skillfully infuses lace, silk, chiffon, floral motifs, and sequins in her creations. The Atina Collection is a testament to the belief that fashion is not just about clothing but crafting a narrative of beauty, strength and self-expression.
