Tanteo Tequila has officially declared today, January 26th National Spicy Margarita Day and launching a brand-new river clean-up initiative in the two places they call home: the Newtown Creek (Brooklyn/Queens, NY) & the Rio Santiago (Juanacatlan, Mexico), Additionally, 5% of proceeds from orders placed on their online shop tthrough 2/22 will be donated to the Newtown Creek Alliance.

The only distillery owned by their co-op of agave farmers, Tanteo Tequila is THE original spicy tequila, available in Jalapeño, Chipotle and Habanero. Unlike other spirits that simply add flavor, each Tanteo Tequila is made by infusing fresh cut peppers by hand, resulting in a subtle yet distinctly balanced bite with each sip.

In addition to being a day dedicated to spicy margs & sustainability, January 26 is also the birth date of Tanteo’s late founder Jonathan Rojewski. His vision lives on through Tanteo’s unwavering commitment to making the world a better place from their inception through practices of wage & gender equality, hiring with a focus on single mothers + widows, community revitalization and sustainability.
