GARDENISTA PRESENTS:
EASY TO DRINK, HARD TO FORGET
There’s something about the first sip of Gardenista. Bright lime, garden herbs and a subtle jalapeño kick come together in a way that makes you stop and say, “wait, what is this?” It’s bold, refreshing and unlike anything else in your fridge. That’s what makes Gardenista unforgettable. It’s not just another cocktail. It’s the one you’ll want to introduce to your friends first. The one that earns you compliments before the night even begins.
Made with premium spirits and natural ingredients, Gardenista gives you five ready-to-enjoy cocktails in every bottle. No clean up involved, just unforgettable flavor every time. Finally, something new to sip and share!*
