Tequilas for Cocktails

Agave Spirits Brand Neurita Launches Its New Line in Spain with Xdrinks

Neurita Tequila, the female-founded agave spirits brand, launched its full range of 100% agave tequilas in Spain through a distribution partnership with Xdrinks. The expansion follows the brand's recent US debut and an on-trade preview at the Mallorca Food & Drinks Expo in February 2026, bringing Neurita Picante, Citrus, Rosa and Blanco to the Spanish market.

Mallorca-based Xdrinks will manage on- and off-trade distribution across hotels, cocktail bars, retailers and hospitality partners. The lineup includes the spicy Picante expression, which combines authentic agave flavour with natural chilli heat to meet growing demand for Spicy Margaritas, alongside Citrus, Rosa and the classic Blanco expression.

The launch gives Spanish consumers and bartenders greater access to premium, cocktail-focused tequilas that cater to evolving drinking preferences. It also reflects the continued growth of flavoured agave spirits and the rising popularity of premium tequila cocktails across Europe.
