The margarita is one of the world's most beloved cocktails. Tart, salty, a little smoky - it's a drink that carries a vibe all of its own. So when we set out to make a non-alcoholic version, we knew we couldn't cut corners. Half-measures weren't going to cut it.
La Picante is our answer. A sparkling, alcohol-free ode to the margarita, and the latest addition to the Sammy Piquant family.
Why a margarita?
We asked ourselves: what are the drinks people miss most when they go alcohol-free? The margarita kept coming up. It's a party drink, a celebration drink, a Friday-afternoon-on-the-back-deck drink. It's loaded with personality. And yet the non-alcoholic options on the market were either too sweet, too flat, or tasting nothing like the real thing.
We wanted to change that. We wanted something you'd actually choose, not just settle for.
The flavour profile
La Picante is built around three hero flavours: charred agave, salted lime, and habanero. Each one plays a specific role.
• Charred agave gives depth and smokiness, the backbone of any great margarita. It's the note that makes you think 'yes, this is the real thing.'
• Salted lime delivers the bright, tart hit you expect up front. The salt lifts everything and adds complexity.
• Habanero brings a subtle warmth that lingers on the finish. Not overpowering, just enough to remind you this is a drink with character.
Put them together and you get a drink that's genuinely bold, genuinely complex, and genuinely delicious, at just 22 calories per can.
How to serve it
La Picante is designed for effortless drinking - crack the can, pour over ice, and go. But if you want to elevate the experience? Add a salted rim and a fresh squeeze of lime. It takes thirty seconds and completely transforms the serve.
Available in a 4-pack or 24-pack, La Picante is ready for everything from a quiet night in to a full backyard gathering.
Where to get it
