Cutwater’s newest cocktail lineup is shaking up the ready-to-drink scene just in time for summer with two new seasonal flavors -- 'Spicy Mango Margarita' and 'Gin Collins' -- alongside the national expansion of the fan-favorite 'Lemon Drop Martini.'
For those who like a little heat with their refreshment, the Spicy Mango Margarita offers the perfect balance of juicy mango, zesty lime, and a kick of jalapeño, made with Cutwater’s award-winning tequila. The Gin Collins, a crisp reimagining of the timeless cocktail, combines Cutwater’s gin with zesty lemon for a light, citrus-forward experience.
Meanwhile, the Lemon Drop Martini, which debuted regionally last year, has become one of Cutwater’s top-selling cocktails, earning a nationwide rollout. Crafted with Cutwater’s award-winning vodka, it delivers the perfect blend of tart lemon and smooth sweetness.
