History
The Margarita has long been celebrated as a cocktail of joy, a simple yet perfect mix of citrus, sweetness, and tequila (or rum, for this tropical twist). The Passionfruit Mango Margarita reinvents this classic with a Caribbean flair, swapping tequila for white rum and introducing tropical fruits that sing with sunshine.
Spirits With Smoke captures this island-inspired evolution through its infusion process — a method that brings professional bar-quality flavor into every home bar.
