It is reported that the new product is made of spirits, the ingredients are simple, only contain soda, tequila, natural fruit flavors and tequila honey, each can contains only 100 calories, almost no carbohydrates.
Lance Collins, founder of Casa Azul, said that the market for canned drinks is gradually expanding, and in order to break through this fast-growing market, it is necessary to make a differentiated product. Compared with other canned cocktails blended with spirits on the market, the new products are as low as half the alcohol content of the same type of product, and the carbohydrate and sugar content is as low as one-third. Although there are many hard soda (alcoholic soda) products with low calorie and low alcohol content on the market, most of them are blended with ale wine. Therefore, what makes this new product unique is its combination of ready-to-drink properties and the rich flavor of tequila.
At present, the new products can be purchased in offline retail stores and online in many states in the United States, and the suggested retail price is $12.99/4 cans. (Source: Fooddive)
