Premium Blend®, a leading innovator in wine-based spirits and cocktail solutions for beer- and wine-licensed operators, today announced the launch of Brisa Ardiente™, Premium Blend® ‘s wine-based aguardiente inspired by the beloved Colombian spirit tradition. Brisa Ardiente delivers the distinctive character and smooth anise-forward profile that aguardiente enthusiasts enjoy, while offering a unique alternative for beer and wine licensed establishments.
Brisa Ardiente is bottled at 24% ABV (48 proof) and is designed for sipping, shots, and cocktail applications. The product captures the flavor profile and celebratory spirit of traditional Colombian aguardiente while leveraging Premium Blend’s expertise in wine-based beverage innovation.
Brisa Ardiente is available in three convenient package sizes:
- 750 mL – Ideal for restaurants, bars, retail sales and at-home enjoyment
- 225 mL – Perfect for individual enjoyment and convenience stores
- 50 mL – Great for sampling, promotions, and impulse purchases
The launch comes as South Florida prepares for FIFA World Cup 2026™ matches and Colombian Independence Day celebrations on July 20, two occasions expected to bring Colombian communities, soccer fans, and hospitality venues together across Miami and beyond.
“Brisa Ardiente reflects exactly what Premium Blend was built to do, create innovative wine-based alternatives inspired by globally recognized beverage traditions,” said Gino Santos, Co-Founder of Premium Blend®. “As Colombian culture takes center stage this summer through World Cup celebrations and Independence Day festivities, we’re excited to introduce a product that honors those traditions while helping operators expand their beverage offerings.”
“Colombian aguardiente has long been associated with celebration, community, and cultural pride,” said Henry Santos, Co-Founder of Premium Blend®. “Brisa Ardiente gives restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, and retailers an opportunity to offer an authentic Colombian-inspired experience.”
Brisa Ardiente™ is designed to support a variety of traditional and contemporary serves, including neat pours, celebratory shots, and Colombian-inspired cocktails. The product provides operators with a flexible, high-margin addition to menus and special events while helping create culturally immersive experiences around sporting events, community celebrations, and Latin-inspired beverage programs.
As liquor license costs, inflation, and changing consumer preferences continue to influence beverage programs nationwide, Brisa Ardiente offers a practical alternative that allows operators to expand offerings, increase check averages, and deliver authentic cultural experiences through a wine-based format.
