Rancho La Gloria, a brand of MPL NV Brands, Sausalito, Calif., announced its expansion into the spirits category with the launch of premium Infused Tequilas.
Available in two flavors, Jalapeño Lime and Pink Lemonade, Rancho La Gloria Infused Tequila are crafted from 100% Blue Weber Agave. The Infused Tequilas, bottled at 35% ABV, deliver an exceptional spirit that celebrates culture, family and innovation, it adds.
Pink Lemonade Infused Tequila features notes of lemon zest and sweet Meyer lemon. The lemon notes are heightened by hints of ripe berry, and finish with layers of clean agave and bright citrus, the company notes. Meanwhile, Jalapeño Lime Infused Tequila packs a punch with flavors of freshly sliced jalapeño balanced by juicy key lime and zesty lime peel with notes of roasted agave and the perfect amount of heat, it says.
