Black Iguana Heats Up the Fun!

This Friday night’s Black Iguana Promo will be part of the HOT lineup at The Cadillac Cafe in Baton Rouge, LA along with the HOT music and HOT menu.

“For over 20 years, the Cadillac has been burning the midnight oil with the hottest bands around.”

LSU Fighting Tiger & Black Iguana

Mike the Tiger at the LSU vs Florida game was ferociously geared up and was showing some swagger with Black Iguana!

Black Iguana was definitely a chick magnet.

The Fighting Tiger fans mashed up their Purple & Gold colors  with the Black & Lime Green!  Fashionistas, not.  Partyistas, yes!  

The LSU GRRRRRLS not only wore their Purple & Gold stripes with pride — they also really loved the Black Iguana Frozen Ritas!  

David Alden Wilks and LSU tailgate party friends set a new standard in FUN! The large supply of Frozen Ritas brought a lot of tailgating cheer and out-of-the-beer-box creativeness. 

David set up a Beer Bong for Black Iguanas and it was the Bomb!

Margarita: Myth or Magic?

Great quote from author and photographer Karl Petzke in his new book: “In the end, all that matters is that the margarita is here for us to enjoy.“

And it’s no myth that Black Iguana is all about ENJOYING life.  The magic comes in four FUN ready-to-drink pouches in the Black Iguana box!

FREEZE. SQUEEZE. ENJOY!

You can purchase Black Iguana Frozen Rita fun 4-packs at your local grocery store, convenience store, or liquor store.

And if you can’t find the product, contact the store manager and request that they carry it in their store!

Mutiny on the Bayou

Arrrrs… Lower the Jolly Morgan and raise the Black Iguana flag. Looks like there’s been a Mutiny on the Bayou.

Record Heat & Record Black Iguana Sales!

The temperature’s rising… it’s gettin hot… it’s Black Iguana time!

Over 17 cases of Black Iguana Frozen Ritas were sold in one day at Planet Liquor’s Grand Opening in Baytown!

 

And at one of the HEB  stores in Houston, over 8 cases of Black Iguana Frozen Ritas were sold at a sampling taste demo. Black Iguana’s all about Fun — tiki bar’s optional!

Black Iguana — Top Choice

Black Iguana was clearly the preferred beverage at the Pride Houston Awards event. “Even though we had hard liquor, wine and champagne present for attendees to drink, the MARGARITA pouches were the hit of the party!, said Frankie Quijano, Volunteer Director for Pride Houston.

Great Looks. Great Taste. Hands Down.

Frozen or on the rocks, Black Iguana Frozen Ritas will keep you breezy cool in the Texas 3-digit summer heat. Black Iguana Frozen Ritas can be enjoyed frozen or chilled, straight from the pouch or served in a glass.

If we are judging books by their covers and margarita cocktails by their pouches, Black Iguana wins hands down.

Black Iguana Frozen Rita is a premium Blue Agave Wine based margarita beverage in a very sexy black pouch with the distinctive Black Iguana logo on the front. Its packaging design has won the Houston AMA Crystal Award.

The black pouch features a twist-off recloseable cap, and is paired off with a straw for a ready-to-drink, crank-up-the-fun, chill-out experience.

What’s the story on what is inside? Behind the Black Iguana brand is an expanse of premium Blue Agave fields in a mountainous village in the state of Jalisco, the premier Tequila region in Mexico.  

Black Iguana Frozen Ritas contain 100% premium Blue Agave wine imported from Mexico.

The  family-owned  agave wine estate uses century-old processes for cultivating the agave fields, cooking the hearts (pinas) of the agave plants in brick ovens, then sending them through shredders, where the juice is squeezed from the fibers. And that is what gives Black Iguana Frozen Ritas such a rich, full and smooth taste.

Christopher Cross Fans Sail Away With Black Iguanas

The Showgrounds  at the Sam Houston Race Park is an awesome outdoor venue with a great summer lineup of bands for Saturday nights!

The Christopher Cross & America concert on June 13 had the crowd sailing away with Black Iguanas!

Lawn chairs, summer breeze, great music and Frozen Ritas — great fun!

 

Sweetner in Pre-Mixed Frozen Ritas

Do Black Iguana Frozen Ritas contain high-fructose corn syrup?

We’ve been asked that question numerous times. The concern about the use of high-fructose corn syrup in our pre-mixed margarita product is most commonly voiced by individuals who may be allergic to it, diabetic, or concerned about weight control.

For those of you who’ve experienced trouble finding a pre-mixed margarita beverage that does not have high-fructose corn syrup, the search is over!

Although high-fructose corn syrup is a common sweetener and preservative used in beverages, we do not use it.  The sugar we use in the Black Iguana Frozen Rita product comes from sugarcane and/or sugar beets.

Convenience Is All the Rage

 

 

 

Black Iguana Frozen Rita was featured in the May edition of ShelfImpact, a publication of Packaging World.

“Packages that save consumers time are the rage, and another recent example is DGI Beverage’s Black Iguana Frozen Rita premixed frozen cocktail in a pouch. The mixture makes margarita preparation and consumption convenient and portable.”
