Rancho La Gloria and Tajín have partnered to create a simple and flavorful Cinco de Mayo drink. The 'Tajín-A-Rita' combines Tajín hot sauce and seasoning with Rancho La Gloria’s ready-to-drink margarita. To prepare, "simply rim a glass with Tajín, pour the margarita over ice, and enjoy a refreshing beverage in seconds."
This collaboration is a natural fit, as both brands have deep roots in Hispanic culinary heritage. By combining Tajín’s distinctive chili-lime seasoning with Rancho La Gloria’s authentic margarita mix, the Tajín-A-Rita offers a convenient yet culturally rich beverage option, celebrating the flavors of the region.
Additionally, select store locations will feature Tajín packs on Rancho La Gloria bottles, allowing customers to try the seasoning with their margarita. Meanwhile, Rancho La Gloria products are available across the United States at retailers including "Target, HEB, Kroger, Walmart, and others."
