YaVe TequilaBorn from founder Joe Cruz Jr.’s dream in Spanish Harlem, YaVe Tequila makes premium tequila rooted in the Highlands and Lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The brand blends agave from both regions with volcanic water filtered through lava rock, then brings a Puerto Rican influence to its naturally flavored mango and coconut tequilas. YaVe says it was the first to create a naturally flavored tequila, with the mango expression made for Cruz’s mother and the coconut for his mother and grandmother’s heritage.
Lobos 1707Founded by artist Diego Osorio, Lobos 1707 makes tequila and mezcal that pair Mexican agave spirits with southern Spain’s sherry tradition. Every expression is finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, reviving a family story that traces back to an ancestor who carried PX barrels from Spain to Mexico around 1707. The Miami-imported brand’s lineup includes award-winning bottles such as its Reposado and Extra Añejo.
Sanloco MezcalSanloco Mezcal makes artisanal mezcal in partnership with third-generation Maestro Mezcalero Rodolfo Juan Juárez at his single family-owned palenque in San Juan del Río, Oaxaca. Its Espadín reflects the Juárez family’s inherited craft, using agave selected from the Valles Centrales and river water from the surrounding mountains. Founded through a friendship formed in Manhattan, Sanloco pairs this multigenerational Oaxacan tradition with a mission to support the communities that produce the spirit.
Entre Nōs MezcalFounded by friends Alexa and Krizia, Entre Nōs Mezcal makes artisanal 100% agave mezcal rooted in Oaxaca’s traditions. Its Espadín agave is cultivated by Master Héctor Gómez in Yaxe, cooked in earthen ovens, milled with a tahona, and double-distilled in copper. The brand grew from the founders’ time learning from mezcaleros and their desire to make a spirit for the shared moments around a table.
