Rancho La Gloria has expanded its seasonal beverage portfolio with the commercial launch of a limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini.
Formulated with an agave wine base at 14.9 per cent alcohol by volume (ABV), the release adapts the autumn pumpkin spice flavour profile into a pre-mixed cocktail. Packaged in the brand's signature 1.5-litre sharing bottle at a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of US$15.99, the product enters US retail distribution ahead of autumn and winter holiday entertaining occasions.
The launch converges two high-interest beverage profiles, pumpkin spice and the espresso martini, into a high-volume RTD format engineered to simplify large-group hosting.
Formulation and Flavour
The product development combines dark coffee extracts with traditional autumn baking spices over an agave wine alcohol base.
Key formulation specifications and sensory attributes include:
☕ Espresso and Coffee Foundation: Blended with rich espresso and dark coffee notes to deliver the roasted bitterness of a classic espresso martini.
🎃 Pumpkin Spice Profile: Infused with warm seasonal spice notes to recreate the profile of traditional autumn beverages.
🌵 Agave Wine Base: Formulated using an agave wine base at 14.9% ABV, aligning with the brand's core RTD cocktail architecture.
🍸 Suggested Serve: Engineered to be chilled, shaken, and strained directly into a coupe or martini glass, finished with a garnish of cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice.
Ashley Akolade, Brand Director of Rancho La Gloria, stated that the release was developed to introduce a high-proof, indulgent cocktail option to the seasonal market, noting that the beverage translates the familiar Pumpkin Spice Latte profile into a party-ready 14.9% ABV format.
Packaging and Retail Availability
Rancho La Gloria is utilising its large-format 1.5-litre glass bottle packaging to position the SKU for group entertaining occasions, including Halloween events, Friendsgiving gatherings, and Thanksgiving meals.
The multi-serve bottle format eliminates the need for individual cocktail shaking or complex ingredient prep in high-volume social settings.
Key commercial parameters of the launch include:
Packaging Configuration: Packaged in 1.5-litre multi-serve glass bottles.
Pricing Tier: Positioned at a suggested retail price of US$15.99 per bottle.
Distribution Channels: Rolling out for a limited time across select retail stockists nationwide throughout the United States while promotional inventories last.
Best known for developing agave wine-based margaritas, Rancho La Gloria has expanded its footprint across bottled and canned ready-to-drink cocktails. The seasonal release equips retail stockists with a holiday-themed RTD proposition designed to drive impulse trial and seasonal basket building in the ambient and chilled alcoholic beverage fixture.
