Production & Heritage

High Noon launched in 2019 as one of the first hard seltzers made with real distilled spirits rather than malt liquor. The tequila line sources its blanco tequila from Destileria Leyros in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico, using 100% Blue Weber Agave grown in the Highlands region. Each can blends that silver tequila with real fruit juice and sparkling water, with no added sugar — a distinction High Noon claims as a first in the tequila seltzer segment. The Fiesta 8PK includes two cans each of Grapefruit, Lime, Passionfruit, and Strawberry.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Each flavor leads with its namesake fruit. Grapefruit delivers big, pithy citrus on the nose. Passionfruit opens with a slightly funky, tropical aroma reminiscent of deep, ripe fruit flesh. Strawberry hits immediately with unmistakable strawberry candy aromatics.

Taste: Across all four flavors, fruit character arrives first and occupies the palate with clean, juice-forward intensity. The Grapefruit is bracing and punchy, allowing subtle agave notes to surface at mid-palate. Lime reads lean and straightforward — tequila with a bright citrus splash. Passionfruit balances tropical sweetness with earthy depth, while Strawberry delivers bold, candy-like fruit that dominates from first sip onward.

Finish: All four expressions finish with light sparkling effervescence and a dry, sugar-free close. Wisps of agave character appear near the tail end in the Grapefruit and Passionfruit variants, while Strawberry lingers longest with persistent fruit flavor well past the swallow.

How to Drink High Noon Tequila Fiesta

These seltzers are designed to be enjoyed straight from the can, well chilled. Pour over ice in a rocks glass if you prefer a slower, more aromatic experience. The Grapefruit flavor works as a shortcut Paloma — add a salted rim and a squeeze of fresh lime for a near-instant riff on the classic. Lime cans pair naturally with a Ranch Water setup — pour into a glass over ice with an extra wedge of lime. Passionfruit makes an easy base for a Tropical Highball when topped with a splash of coconut water.
