Casatera

The ProblemThere is a lack of higher-ABV, better-for-you, ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail options. Most RTD cocktails contain high amounts of sugar, carbohydrates and calories—and are oftentimes low in ABV. And while 80% of U.S. consumers plan to drink RTD cocktails in 2022, 77% of consumers want to do more to stay healthy in the future.This puts consumers at odds with themselves at a time when:Americans are now buying more RTDs than traditional bottled spirits—and the category is set to soon exceed all of wine.This growth is expected to give the category command of 8% of total beverage alcohol by 2025, up from the current 4% share.RTDs are expected to be about 22% of U.S. alcohol sales by 2025—up from 9.6% in 2020.M&A activity by large alcohol companies is common, and spirits companies have seen exits at 10-20x revenue.Meanwhile, Tequila is experiencing unprecedented growth:Tequila has become one of the fastest-growing spirit in the U.S., with sales up 30.1% in 2021 compared to 2020.In 2022, Tequila sales are projected to outpace American whiskey sales for the first time.Tequila sales are expected to surpass vodka sales in 2023, which would make it the U.S.'s most-purchased spirit by value, at around $13.3B.The SolutionMeet Casatera, a range of 7% ABV, zero sugar, zero carb Tequila seltzers using Tequila from an award-winning distillery in Mexico.
