“The Bushwacker Cocktail has always been more than just a drink; it’s a feeling, a community,” Michael Smith, CEO of Bushwacker Spirits, said in a press release. “Heck, there’s even songs written about it. Now, we’re giving this amazing community the opportunity to own a piece of that feeling, to become owners of the company. The Bushwacker Cocktail has been around for almost 50 years throughout the Gulf Coast and Virgin Islands,” said Smith. “We are just happy to be a small part of its long history and be able to share in this journey with everyone.”

The stock offering is available for any investor. Shareholders receive exclusive benefits, including behind-the-scenes experiences and the opportunity to meet with the company’s leadership one-on-one. Who wouldn’t want to own part of a country that’s all about beach days and good vibes?

Tequila Corralejo Introduces Smaller Bottle For the First Time in More Than 250 Years

Alcohol, Beer, Beverage

If you’ve walked into a Mexican bar or restaurant, chances are you’ve noticed the big blue bottle of tequila. Corralejo is famous for its tall, slim bottles that come in 750 milliliters and 1.75 liters. The 750-milliliter bottle is the standard size you’ve probably become familiar with. Corralejo also has clear bottles for its Blanco, red bottles for its Añejo, and a tall, round, bright blue bottle for its Triple Distilled Tequilas, among other shapes and types.

It’s been this way for decades and decades. But for the first time, Corralejo is meeting the demand for smaller, easily digestible, and giftable bottles. Arriving ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month and Mexican Independence Day in September, Corralejo is introducing the 375ml Reposado bottle, which aims to create “a timely entry point into Tequila Corralejo’s more than 250 years of tequila-making heritage, while offering a right-sized option for intimate gatherings, gifting, and cocktail occasions.”
