Invest in a premium blue agave cocktail brand

After our first investor trip to Mexico, one thought kept bubbling up:

❝

Agave is such a great ingredient. How come more companies don't use it?

As it turns out, one premium cocktail company is indeed using blue agave. They're called Melograno, and we met the team on our investor trip to Nashville.

Melograno delivers innovation in the RTD category on the leading edge of global and consumer trends: non-carbonation, healthy lifestyle, premiumization, and natural, “Better for You” ingredients.

Melograno is currently raising a round of funding to expand the brand further. We don't normally offer RTD opportunities, but this is definitely one to look at.
