Why MEXI

We built a tequila supply chain. Now we open it to you.

MEXI Craft Tequila Seltzer cans in Tamarindo, Guava Spice, Aloe and Mint, and Spicy Mango with fresh fruit and chiles — Where it started: MEXI Craft Tequila Seltzer, made with NOM blanco from Jalisco.

MEXI began as a craft tequila seltzer made with NOM-certified blanco from Jalisco. Getting it into cans meant earning our way into the distilleries, the export paperwork and the border crossing.

That access is what we now offer. Our partner Alexandro has spent more than a decade inside the industry, trading agave and bulk tequila between houses that rarely deal directly with each other.

You bring the vision and the palate. We handle the liquid, the bottle, the certification and the path home to the United States or Canada.

The Making

Every choice you taste is a choice you make.

The profile is decided in person, glass by glass. These are the variables that separate a good tequila from one worth your name.

CookingStone horno or autoclave

Slow-roasted piñas over 36 to 72 hours, or pressure-steamed for a cleaner, brighter agave.

ExtractionTahona or roller mill

The volcanic stone wheel gives weight and earth. The mill gives clarity.

FermentationNative or selected yeast

Open-air fermentation carries the aromatic signature of the house.

DistillationCopper or stainless

Copper pot stills soften and round. Stainless keeps the spirit taut.

RestBlanco · Reposado · Añejo

Unaged, 2 months, or a year or more in American or French oak.

BottleStock crystal or custom mold

Your label on a premium decanter, or a bottle and stopper made only for you.
