Most people are not aware that traditionally premium tequila is served separately with sangrita, a beverage created to accompany tequila to enhance the drinking experience. Usually they are alternately sipped, but can be mixed together in slightly different proportions. Dos Banderas Sangrita is sweetened with natural agave nectar and sugar and free of high fructose corn syrup.

3. THE OPPORTUNITY.
Good, fresh tasting sangrita was not
readily available in the U.S. so one of the
friends got an authentic recipe while in
Mexico City, and started making it for his
own enjoyment, and for friends.
4. THE BEGINNING.
One night a er considerable talk, and
possibly too many tequilas the two
friends decided to start a company to
produce sangrita so people who enjoy
premium tequila could enjoy the
authentic, traditional Mexican
experience. A company was formed, a
name was chosen, the recipe was
commercialized, and the product was
manufactured.
5. THE PROCESS.
A lot was learned in the early days of
“Dos Banderas”, and changes occurred as
experience was gained. Among them the
bo le size was increased to bigger 32
ounce bo les, and the recipe was
reformulated. Dos Banderas Sangrita is
now sweetened with a majority of
organic agave nectar. It has NO HIGH
FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, and
contains only fruit and vegetable juices.
e result is a low calorie, very natural,
great tasting beverage.

Positioned as a high-end sangrita
