## Story
🌴 Born in a village deep in Oaxaca. Reimagined for today.After several surf trips through Mexico, we fell in love with Oaxaca, and mezcal — fiery, soulful, and rooted in centuries of tradition. Back home in California, we realized something was missing: there was no premium mezcal ready-to-drink cocktail.So we created Mezo Mezoritas — chef-balanced, easy drinking, tropical mezcalitas in a can. Now for the first time ever, you can buy them for under $5.No more need to spend $17 at a bar, or go to the store to find all the ingredients.100% Top Shelf Espadín mezcal (not agave wine, or malt, or sugar spirit tequila, or even cheap Silencio mezcal)Fresh squeezed citrus + tropical fruit forward Mezcalitas unlike seltzersA touch of agave nectar and monk fruit equal to 8oz of fruit juice, gluten-free, under 7% ABVMinimally carbonated for a smooth, barely smokey, session-able finishAbsolutely deliciousThis is the cocktail you've been waiting for — so different, we gave it a new name: MezoritaWe launched in 2024 with a small batch of 600 cases. People went wild at events and festivals, and we secured sales in 25+ venues. We sold out and need to get more in you hands. It was too small for distribution.

Here is an example of what investing in Mezo could be worth:Thank you for reading and supporting our vision. The Ready-to-Drink (RTD) cocktail category is one of the fastest-growing segments in U.S. beverage alcohol. In fact, RTDs have already overtaken wine in volume and are projected to challenge beer and spirits as the #1 category by the 2030s. Agave spirits have also overtaken whiskey and almost Vodka to make it the number 1 spirits category! That will happen next year. This shift is being driven by changing consumer habits—people want premium quality, portability, and convenience without sacrificing authenticity.By investing in Mezo, you’re not just backing a mezcal cocktail brand—you’re positioning yourself ahead of a major market transformation. RTDs aren’t a fad; they’re the future of how America drinks.… welcome to the Familia.👉 Back Mezo today.
