SouthNorte is entering the RTD cocktails category with a trio of high-quality, ready-to-drink Mexican cocktails that take cues from the authentic flavors. The three tequila-based cocktails (Paloma, Matador and a Mexican Mule) are thoughtfully made with natural, premium ingredients and they are poised "to satisfy consumers' thirst for discovery."
The flavors of Mexico are not only explored through taste but the entirety of the new products, from quality to can design. Paul Cummins, President, SouthNorte, says "For an increasingly omni-cultural generation, flavors and associations are tickets to places, feelings, ideas they may have never otherwise experienced."
While the Paloma combines the refreshing taste of grapefruit and fresh lime with blue agave tequila, the Mexican Mule spikes ginger beer and lime with a hint of jalapeño. The Matador rounds out the trio with a different take on blue agave tequila, thanks to fresh pineapple and lime.
