Mission Craft Cocktails Turns Viral April Fools' Joke Into Pickle-Rita

What began as a playful April Fools' prank has materialized into a bottled product after overwhelming consumer demand. Mission Craft Cocktails is marking National Tequila Day by unveiling the Pickle-Rita, a 25% ABV savory cocktail blending premium tequila with dill, set to hit retail shelves across California this fall.

Founders Amit Singh and Marcin Malyszko developed the drink after their initial social media teaser for a spiked pickle cocktail triggered a flood of inquiries. The new addition joins a diverse lineup of ready-to-drink options, including Jalapeño Pineapple and Tamarind varieties, all produced using spirits from the family-run distillery Productos Finos de Agave. The brand distinguishes itself through a commitment to local sourcing and a social mission, having funded over 1.6 million meals for Feeding America to date through its One Bottle = One Meal initiative.

Starting this fall, customers can find the 25% ABV beverage at Total Wine & More, Costco, and Ralphs locations. The launch aligns with the company’s broader strategy of providing high-proof, bartender-quality drinks that eliminate the need for specialized equipment or premium bar pricing.
