Betty Booze Tequila Variety 6Pk

Betty Booze Tequila Variety 6-Pack is an assorted ready-to-drink sparkling tequila collection featuring three distinct flavors at 4.5% ABV. The Lime Shiso expression won Best Sparkling Beverage at the 2023 World Beverage Innovation Awards, signaling serious credibility in an increasingly crowded RTD category.

Quick Facts: ABV: 4.5%  |  Origin: United States  |  Style: Sparkling Tequila RTD  |  Producer: Betty Booze (founded by Blake Lively)

Production & Heritage

Betty Booze was founded by actress Blake Lively as a spirits-based RTD brand built around transparency and ingredient quality. Each can combines sparkling water, real premium tequila, and real fruit juice — a notable departure from the malt-based or spirit-adjacent formulations common in the RTD space. The lineup contains no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners, positioning it among the cleaner-label entries in the ready-to-drink market.

What's in the Variety Pack

The six-pack rotates through three tequila-based expressions, each with a distinct flavor direction:

• Sparkling Tequila with Lime Shiso: Bright lime acidity meets herbaceous, slightly bitter shiso leaf — the expression that took home Best Sparkling Beverage at the 2023 World Beverage Innovation Awards.
• Sparkling Tequila with Oak Smoked Lemonade: A lemonade base layered with warm oak smoke, a squeeze of orange, and a subtle buttery richness. This expression was a finalist for Best Low/No Beverage at the same 2023 awards.
• Sparkling Tequila with Smoky Pineapple: Tropical pineapple anchored by a splash of mezcal and a pinch of brown sugar, leaning into a smokier, earthier profile.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Across the three variants, expect bright citrus and tropical fruit up front, followed by herbal and lightly smoky undertones depending on the expression. The Lime Shiso leans green and herbaceous, while the Smoky Pineapple carries warm, roasted agave character.

Taste: Entry is crisp and effervescent with clean sparkling water minerality. Mid-palate, recognizable tequila flavor emerges — vegetal agave with mild pepper — before each variant's signature ingredients take over. The Oak Smoked Lemonade delivers the most complexity, with buttery warmth balancing tart citrus.

Finish: Light and refreshing across all three, with gentle acidity that keeps each sip from lingering too long. The Smoky Pineapple has the longest tail, where mezcal smoke trails off slowly alongside brown sugar sweetness.

How to Drink Betty Booze Tequila

These are designed to drink straight from the can, well-chilled — no mixing required. Pouring over fresh ice in a rocks glass or tumbler enhances the aromatics and keeps the carbonation lively. For those who want to build something more elaborate, the Lime Shiso makes a low-ABV Paloma riff when topped with a splash of grapefruit juice. The Oak Smoked Lemonade works as a ready-made base for a tequila punch bowl with fresh citrus wheels and a rosemary sprig. The Smoky Pineapple holds its own as a lighter stand-in for a Mezcal Mule when poured over ice with a squeeze of fresh lime and a few dashes of ginger beer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Betty Booze Tequila taste like? The lineup ranges from bright and herbaceous (Lime Shiso) to warm and smoky (Oak Smoked Lemonade and Smoky Pineapple), all with a crisp, effervescent base and recognizable tequila agave character underneath.

How does Betty Booze compare to Cutwater Lime Margarita? Both brands use real tequila rather than malt bases, but Cutwater Lime Margarita sits significantly higher in ABV (around 12.5%) and delivers a more cocktail-strength experience, while Betty Booze at 4.5% ABV is designed for lighter, sessionable drinking. Betty Booze also emphasizes no artificial flavors or sweeteners, whereas Cutwater focuses on replicating a full-strength margarita profile.

Is Betty Booze good for beginners? At 4.5% ABV with balanced fruit and sparkling water, these are highly approachable for anyone new to tequila-based drinks or the RTD category in general. The variety pack format also lets newcomers sample three distinct flavor profiles without committing to a full pack of one.

Where is Betty Booze made? Betty Booze is a United States–based brand founded in New York by Blake Lively. The company does not operate its own distillery; it sources premium tequila and blends its beverages according to proprietary recipes.

What foods pair well with Betty Booze Tequila? The Lime Shiso pairs naturally with ceviche or shrimp tacos, where its herbal brightness complements citrus-marinated seafood. Oak Smoked Lemonade works alongside grilled chicken or smoked fish dip, echoing the smoky warmth. Smoky Pineapple stands up to jerk-spiced dishes or pulled pork sliders, where the mezcal smokiness and brown sugar meet bold seasoning. Fresh guacamole with chips is a versatile match for all three.

What sizes does Betty Booze come in? The tequila variety pack is sold as a six-pack containing two cans of each of the three flavor expressions.

Is Betty Booze worth the price? Betty Booze positions as a premium RTD, justified by its use of real tequila, real juice, and zero artificial additives — ingredients that place it above the many malt-based alternatives in its price tier. The variety format adds value by offering three distinct tasting experiences in one purchase.

Why Betty Booze Tequila?

In a ready-to-drink landscape dominated by malt-based products and artificial flavoring shortcuts, Betty Booze distinguishes itself by building every expression on actual premium tequila and real juice. The 2023 World Beverage Innovation Award for Best Sparkling Beverage validates the Lime Shiso as a standout in the global RTD field, not just the domestic market. At 4.5% ABV, the lineup occupies a genuinely sessionable space that most tequila-based competitors ignore in favor of higher-proof formulations. The variety pack format makes it the logical entry point for the brand — a structured tasting across three meaningfully different flavor profiles rather than a one-note experience.
