Targeting Gen Z and Millennial drinkers, Olmeca Tequila refreshed its packaging to attract the party-going crowd between the ages of18 and 28. The spirit of the brand fuses Mexican tradition with modern innovation, and it brings consumers back to the first major civilization in Mexico – the Olmec. In reference to this, the brand's redesigned bottle includes engravings inspired by ancient symbols, toasting shots and the agave plant.
Additionally, the first Olmeca bottle update in almost 18 years introduces a geometric-cut bottle with a longer neck to make cocktail pouring easier. This new design has been applied across the entire portfolio of Olmeca products, including Olmeca Silver, Olmeca Gold, Olmeca Reposado, Olmeca Añejo and Olmeca Dark Chocolate.
