Calirosa Tequila Rosa Blanco

Calirosa Tequila Rosa Blanco is a 100% blue agave tequila produced in Jalisco and aged 30 days in California red wine barrels — a brief but significant finishing period that imparts the vibrant rosy pink color and a smooth, fruit-forward character that differentiates it from both standard blancos and traditionally aged tequilas, reflecting the brand’s Mexican-Californian identity.

Calirosa was founded in 2021 in collaboration with Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo as a lifestyle tequila bridging Mexican agave tradition and California wine culture. The 30-day California red wine barrel finishing is the defining production decision: long enough to extract the wine’s fruit character and color compounds, short enough to remain technically a blanco (blancos can rest up to 60 days without becoming reposado). The resulting pink-tinted spirit carries a berry and fruit note from the red wine residue alongside the natural fresh agave character of the double distillation — producing a distinctive flavor and visual profile suited to both cocktails and sipping over ice. Double distillation provides the clean, smooth base that the wine barrel finishing then layers flavor onto.
