La Pinta is a uniquely positioned premium tequila liqueur from Jalisco, Mexico — and the story behind it is as interesting as the liquid itself. The name honors La Pinta, the fastest of the three ships in Christopher Columbus's first trans-Atlantic voyage in 1492. It was Columbus who brought both the ship and the first pomegranate fruits to Mexico from Spain, making the pomegranate a fruit with deep roots in Mexican culinary heritage. The creators of La Pinta drew on their fondness for a traditional pomegranate punch enjoyed in a small village in Jalisco and built an ultra-premium liqueur from that inspiration.
What elevates La Pinta above standard fruit liqueurs is the base spirit: Clase Azul Plata Tequila — one of the most celebrated ultra-premium 100% Blue Weber Agave tequilas in the world, distilled at NOM 1595 in Jalisco. The pomegranate is blended with this premium tequila base to create a liqueur that is vibrant, fruit-forward, and approachable at 19% ABV (38 proof), while still carrying the warmth and earthy character of genuine agave. The striking frosted white bottle with its deep ruby base is one of the most visually distinctive liqueur vessels on the shelf. Excellent on the rocks, in a pomegranate margarita, or splashed into sparkling wine for a Pinta Royale.

Tasting Notes
Color: Bright ruby red — vivid and striking in the frosted white bottle
Nose: Ripe pomegranate and fresh tart fruit lead, with a subtle agave undertone from the Clase Azul base. Light and aromatic.
Palate: Velvety and balanced — sweet pomegranate and tart cherry-like fruit notes are harmonized by the warm, earthy agave character of the tequila base. Sweet but not cloying, with good acidity keeping it refreshing.
Finish: Smooth and lingering — a gentle touch of spice and agave warmth round out the pomegranate sweetness.
FAQ
Is La Pinta a tequila or a liqueur?
La Pinta is a pomegranate liqueur made with Clase Azul Plata tequila as its base spirit. At 19% ABV it is lower proof than standard tequila, sweeter, and fruit-forward — ideal for sipping over ice or as a cocktail ingredient rather than a straight spirit. Think of it as high-end pomegranate juice with the soul of Clase Azul inside.
What cocktails work best with La Pinta?
La Pinta is excellent over ice on its own, in a Pomegranate Margarita (paired with additional tequila, lime, and triple sec), stirred into sparkling wine for a Pinta Royale, or mixed with grapefruit juice for a tequila-based Paloma twist. It also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate and fresh cheeses.
