Benefits of Having Your Own Tequila Brand
Restaurant Cocktail Cost Savings Scenario
Liquor Store Revenue Replacement Scenario
Florida Scenarios (tax varies drastically by state, changing landed cost)
* Switching to your own house brand when you are paying $25 per 750 ml for your current house pour and you sell 400 Tequila drinks per day. Drink price agnostic.
** When you switch your customer from your current popular brand to your own house brand, at a mere $10 savings per bottle and selling 24 bottles per day.
Both numbers vary slightly by daily fluctuations in exchange rate.
OPPORTUNITY
The market for premium tequila and mezcal is expanding, and owning a custom brand presents a significant opportunity for growth and differentiation. By offering a proprietary product, you can enhance brand loyalty, increase profit margins, and attract a broader customer base. Don’t let the US’ three-tier system eat up your profits!

PROBLEM
You don’t have a house brand of tequila! Many establishments rely on popular, mass-produced brands, leading to limited differentiation and lower profit margins. They taste bad and they cost more than they have to because of the US three-tier system. If you don’t have your own brand, you are paying an importer and distributor margin that could be going into your own pocket–and spent on better liquid in the bottle.
The tequila and mezcal market is dominated by a few major players, but there is a rising trend toward craft and boutique brands. Some high-end restaurants and bars have successfully launched their own spirits, creating exclusive offerings that attract connoisseurs and enhance customer experience and loyalty. Despite this trend, many establishments still do not capitalize on the potential benefits of having a custom brand. Why? Most business owners have never thought of it, have too much work already, and they simply do not have the time or energy to take on a new project, especially one that has them dealing with the intricacies of business in Mexico and navigating the complexities of the alcohol industry.
