Born 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.
