Who We Are

Gavé is more than just a brand; it’s a story of friendship and shared dreams. Dave and Joe grew up together as best friends, navigating the ups and downs of life side by side. As they pursued their individual career paths, their bond remained strong, but their professional journeys took them in different directions.

Now, as co-founders of Gavé, they are reunited in a venture that combines their passions and expertise. This brand represents not only their commitment to creating high-quality, additive-free American Agave Spirits but also the rekindling of a lifelong friendship. Together, they are dedicated to bringing you a product that embodies authenticity, craftsmanship, and the spirit of togetherness.

David Habib


As an attorney with a passion for excellence and a keen eye for detail, David brings the same dedication to Gavé, a premium additive-free American Agave Spirit brand. Inspired by a passion for additive-free spirits and an appreciation of natural ingredients, David founded Gavé to bring an exceptional American agave spirit to life. Initially driven by a dream to craft an additive-free tequila, he wondered: why not produce something just as pure and extraordinary here in the USA? This vision led to Gavé, a celebration of tradition, authenticity and meticulous craftsmanship.

David and his wife, Nora, enjoy connecting with the community and sharing the story behind and vision of Gavé.

Gavé offers a smoother, more authentic experience, free from additives and sweeteners. This dedication to excellence is a reflection of David's meticulous approach to both his practice of law and life.

Whether you’re a potential customer or a fellow enthusiast, we look forward to welcoming you into the Gavé family and sharing a taste of this exceptional spirit.

Joseph Khawand


As a dentist specializing in physiologic and holistic dentistry, Joe emphasizes the importance of mindfulness in what we put into our bodies. His dedication to health and wellness extends beyond his dental practice to his personal life as a fitness enthusiast and Jiu Jitsu black belt. When it comes to indulging in an alcoholic beverage, Joe seeks only the purest and most authentic options. This passion for quality and purity is what drew him to co-found Gavé.

Gavé is more than just a venture for Joseph; it’s a reflection of his commitment to high standards. By creating a spirit free from unnecessary and disruptive additives, Joe ensures that every bottle of Gavé meets the highest benchmarks of purity and quality.
