Using Our Products
6 questions
Simply combine the mixer with your spirit of choice (tequila, vodka, or rum), add ice, and serve. No additional sweeteners or citrus needed — our mixers are pre-balanced with natural ingredients. You can also add a splash of soda water to lighten the drink, or a squeeze of fresh lime to customize to your taste.
A classic margarita is 2 oz mix to 1oz tequila; this allows for 8+ drinks for our 17oz bottles, 12+ for our 25oz, and 17+ drinks for our 35oz bottles.
Absolutely. Our mixers work beautifully in a wide range of cocktails:
- Ruby Red Grapefruit — Palomas, Greyhounds, spritzes
- Pineapple & Jalapeño — tropical rum punches, spicy vodka sodas
- Lime & Yuzu — gin fizzes, vodka tonics, non-alcoholic spritzers
- Jalapeño & Garlic: grilled chicken, roasted potatoes, tacos, popcorn
- Garlic & Árbol: pasta, roasted vegetables, bold marinades
- Blackening Seasoning: fish, chicken, shrimp — apply ~1 tbsp per pound and sear at high heat
- Mexican Seasoning: tacos, ground beef, roasted vegetables, seafood
Yes, in many ways, letting the seasonings join the wet marinade or brine reconstitutes the whole food ingredients we put into each jar, and it intensifies the effect.
Layer them for maximum depth: use dry seasonings in rubs and marinades before cooking (where liquids would burn), then finish with hot sauce as a glaze, table condiment, or in dressings. For example, season chicken with our Jalapeño & Garlic Seasoning before grilling, then finish with Serrano & Basil or Creamy Herb & Jalapeño hot sauce.
