Beudi released a cocktail book on July 15 featuring 30 recipes designed around Australian flavours and the brand’s two core agave spirits, Blanco and Margi Spirit. Blanco is a 100% Blue Weber agave spirit fermented, distilled and bottled in Australia at 37% ABV, while Margi Spirit blends Australian agave spirit with a house-made lime liqueur and sits at 35% ABV.
The recipes include Margarita riffs and Australian-inspired serves such as the Paperbark Paloma and Smashed Avo Margi. Each recipe includes build time, standard drink count, glassware, preparation method and notes from co-founder Jack Connor. The book retails for AU$50, with an AU$110 gift box also available featuring 200ml bottles of Blanco and Margi Spirit.
For bars and home mixologists, the book turns Beudi’s brand identity into practical cocktail applications while showcasing the versatility of Australian-made agave spirits.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Localized Cocktail Storytelling
- Regional flavors and cultural references give spirits brands a richer platform for recipe-led identity, creating room for premium content, collectible books and destination-inspired drink experiences.
- Agave Spirit Localization
- Australian-made agave expressions broaden the category beyond traditional tequila cues, suggesting new possibilities for climate-specific terroir, local production narratives and alternative margarita formats.
- Recipe-driven Brand Extensions
- Cocktail books, gift boxes and guided serves transform bottles into usable lifestyle products, expanding consumer engagement through education, hosting occasions and at-home mixology rituals.
Sectors Adopting This
- Alcoholic Beverages
- Craft spirits producers can differentiate through local ingredient stories and hybrid formats that reshape how consumers understand agave-based drinks.
- Publishing
- Branded recipe books offer publishers and beverage companies a niche format where lifestyle content, product education and premium gifting intersect.
- Hospitality
- Bars and restaurants gain fresh menu inspiration from branded cocktail systems that simplify serve development while introducing guests to emerging regional spirits.
