The Sun (or should we say Desolas) Also Rises. Ernest Hemingway may not have written his famous novel about tequila, but he certainly would have enjoyed an ice-cold cocktail featuring Desolas.
The female-founded up-and-coming mezcal brand named their tequila after the sun (Desolas: of the sol), paying tribute to the hand it plays in making their best-selling bottles. Launched in 2020, Desolas has quickly become a national fan-favorite for its uniquely non-smoky flavor. The tasty tequila can be found across the country in bars and stores from Miami to Aspen and beyond. You can also shop the vibrant tequila online for $52.99 a bottle and start making your own killer cocktails at home now.
This one-of-a-kind mezcal uses a specific process to make a non-smoky, botanical flavor and bring sippers a brand new experience. Check it out now online and in select stores/venues.
Another round anyone? If we are having Desolas — yes, please! The rare, non-smoky flavor of Desolas comes from its one-of-a-kind formulation. Unlike most mezcal brands that use espadin agave, Desolas uses 100% Salmiana Agave grown in the San Luis Potosi of Mexico. This particular agave can take up to 25 years to fully mature and is grown in distinctly chalky soil, which contributes to the non-smokey and more grassy/botanical flavor of the mezcal.
Straight from San Luis Potosi Mexico, Desolas is a stand-out in the mezcal market.
Another defining feature that differentiates Desolas from its competitors and further lessens the typical smokey flavor is the oven process. Desolas uses above-ground ovens to cook the Piñas (hearts of the agave plant), versus underground to lighten the smoke.
Desolas female founders have made it their mission to bring drinkers the best quality at the most affordable price. Costing less than $60 per 750ml bottle, it easily is one of the most accessible go-to spirits. Desolas has won several awards over the last ten years across the country, including winning Double Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The botanical beverage is sneakily rising to the top of notable social spaces. Sippers can find it being served at exclusive hot spots, including Miami’s Casa Tua and the iconic Hamptons Surf Lodge.
