The premier spirits brand has released a new line of all-natural fruit-infused tequila with crispy, fragrant, and aromatic flavors starting with Lime, Grapefruit and Pineapple
NEW YORK, May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Critically acclaimed Espanita Artisanal Tequila launches a new collection of "Signature Infusions" with the release of all-natural fruit-flavored super premium tequilas to add to their portfolio of award-winning spirits. Crafted in ultra-small batches, Espanita's Signature Infusions feature three distinct and elegantly balanced recipes of 100% Blue Agave Blanco tequila infused with freshly harvested Mexican-grown Lime, aromatic sweet Pineapple and Ruby Red Grapefruit. The release of Espanita Signature Infusions is a milestone moment for the brand that will expand Espanita Tequila consumer base by tapping into a burgeoning flavored spirits industry segment.
Smooth, immensely sippable, and aromatic, Espanita Grapefruit, Espanita Pineapple and Espanita Lime are derived from original recipes developed by the brand's Founder, Marina Wilson, and Master Distiller Beto Ramirez. Enduring over a year of experimentation to find the perfect proportions of natural ingredients and maceration techniques, Espanita finally cracked the code to deliver a liquor with the authentic taste of natural freshly picked fruit while guaranteeing the innate, heady aromas of their slow roasted Blue Agave still reign supreme. The Espanita Tequila Blanco, the purest of Espanita's agave expressions, remains at the core of each new "Signature Infusion" as the artisanal production for all flavors involves the maceration of Mexican-grown fruit in high-proof tequila for at least 45 days — a process where flavors are extracted from the hand-sliced fruits and married into a delectable 100% Blue Agave base. Then, the infusions are blended, cold-filtered, and bottled at 35% Alc. By Vol.
Espanita Lime Tequila perfectly balances succulent juiciness of Highlands-born tequila with the crispy zest of a freshly peeled lime from Mexico. The bouquet combines invigorating tangy aromas of citrus with the mellow sweetness of white linden flower blossoms formed over a Blue Agave foundation — irresistible in a blended Margarita or a variety of tequila-based cocktails.
Espanita Grapefruit Tequila is a true testament as to why grapefruit juice remains a favorite tequila companion in popular mixed drinks. The bouquet opens with lively, sparkling citrusy aromas that gradually develop in a seductive and juicy composition of bitter-sweet fragrant notes, with exotic, slightly musky, green accents of ripe ruby red grapefruit. Designed for sipping chilled, on the rocks, or in a variety of tequila-based cocktails, the Espanita Grapefruit is especially delicious in a well-made Paloma.
Espanita Pineapple Tequila showcases delectable juicy sweetness of a perfectly ripened pineapple seamlessly married in the underlying presence of authentic tequila Blanco, leading with heady scents of slow-roasted Agave, honeyed and earthy, with bright citrusy undercurrents while subsequent whiffs reveal a plethora of alluring aromas of tropical fruit and sweet orange blossoms. Espanita Pineapple is a perfect sipper, served chilled or on the rocks, and can be used in a multitude of pineapple-based cocktails.
"Our Signature Infusions edition reflects the adventurous side of our valued traditions at Espanita. While we are devoted to the refined and classic tastes in our tequila, we consistently aim to bring new and fearless flavors to our consumers," says Marina Wilson, President, and Founder of Espanita Tequila. "We're very excited about the first Signature Infusions and anticipate continuing our innovation of tried-and-true tequilas. Through new recipes, our team will deliver the best of our creative, daring expressions to Blue Agave fans."
Born at the high elevations of Jalisco, Espanita Tequila pays homage to generational traditions of the tequila-making craft that originated in Mexico centuries ago. Driven by a passion for Blue Agave spirit, each unhurried step of the brand's artisanal process is steeped in heritage, resulting in a nuanced, rich flavored agave-forward tequila that displays a refined Highlands terroir in every drop.
Espanita Signature Infusions are presented in 750 ml bottles with elegant labels featuring the figure of a jimador to pay homage to these unsung heroes and their hard labor. The artistic representation is inspired by Jose Guadalupe Posada's legacy and celebrates Mexican Day of the Dead traditions. Each bottle has a suggested retail price of $33.99 and is already available in selected markets including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Georgia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas, Maryland, and the District of Columbia, with more states launching through the end of the year, leading with Nevada and Colorado.
