Why is Jarritos so good?

Named the “Official Drink of Tacos.” you'll want to pick up some Jarritos bottles for your next fiesta night at home!
Jarritos History
In 1950, Don Francisco Hill founded Jarritos. He was an accomplished chemist and tinkerer who always left his beakers and journals all over the house, especially in the dining room.
In the beginning, Jarritos' kicked it old school, with their original bottles unlabelled. Purchasers knew what flavour they were getting simply by the colour.
In 1988, Jarritos began exporting to the United States, where it quickly positioned itself as the top-selling Mexican product in the Hispanic market. Jarritos wanderlust has since taken it to many countries across the globe.
The Jarritos Brand
The name "Jarritos" might mean "goat shoes" in German, but it also means "little jugs" in Spanish. And traditional fruit-flavoured aguas frescas were served in clay jugs to keep them cooler for longer.
The Jarritos logo has the colours of their most popular flavours, Mandarin and Lime, which are very similar to the colours of the original clay pots, which were naturally brown on the bottom and glazed green on the top.
