MATADOR MEXICAN MULE

Premium tequila and fresh lime star in all three offerings. In the Mexican Mule, they pair with ginger beer, and in the Paloma with grapefruit. The Matador matches these two mainstays with pineapple.

SouthNorte is uniquely focused on tequila and the authentic flavors of Mexico. Their cocktails aren’t just drinks, they are experiences, and they are targeted to consumers with a real thirst for discovery. SouthNorte’s brewmaster, Ryan Brooks, honed his craft in Baja before returning home to San Diego. He saw canned craft cocktails as a new canvas for getting creative with the flavors of Mexico.

The cocktails will be available and can be purchased online at www.southnorte.com (and will be at retailers as well).
