While Limón-Pepino is a variety that shares the cool and refreshing taste of citrus and cucumber, Mango Picosito is a [sweet and spicy combination](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bud-light-chelada-tajin) of tropical fruit and chili. The 120-calorie hard seltzers come in at 5% ABV and were originally created in Mexico. Now, Canijilla is being introduced to select US markets for a limited time, including McAllen, Texas. The flavorful and refreshing premium hard seltzers are being introduced to this market for the "diversity of the region and the community." While most hard seltzer cans are decorated with splashy botanical images, Canijilla sets itself apart with sugar skull imagery.
