Sheen is the co-owner of Don Sueños Tequila along with Kumiko Zimmerman.

“While I am proud of my sobriety for over two years now and am firmly committed to living a clean and sober lifestyle, I chose to become a part owner of Don Sueños because I know their tequila is of the highest quality,” said Sheen. “I’m excited to be able to work with Kumiko and the team to help Don Sueños continue to grow and to bring awareness, both to its outstanding products and to the charitable organizations it supports.” 

Founded in 2017, the super-premium brand Don Sueños has quickly garnered widespread attention both for its high-quality spirits and its commitment to charitable causes.
