STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Grupo Jumex® and AriZona Beverages Company announce the launch of Jumex Hard Nectar® with Tequila, the next evolution of the Jumex Hard® franchise.

Building on the successful 2024 launch of Jumex Hard®, this premium line extension made with reposado tequila, represents the latest milestone in the strategic partnership between Grupo Jumex and AriZona Beverages, combining Jumex’s 65 years of expertise in fruit beverages with AriZona’s extensive experience bringing innovative beverage brands to consumers across the United States.
