THORNTAIL HARD AGAVE LAUNCHES ‘SPICY MANGO UPRISING’ WITH A BOLD MISSION FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE

Seattle, WA– May 20, 2025  — This summer, Thorntail Hard Agave is cranking up the heat with a new seasonal release: *Spicy Mango Uprising*. But this isn’t just a deliciously bold new flavor—it’s a statement. The launch marks the beginning of Thorntail’s Social Justice Series, a seasonal lineup designed to raise funds and awareness for vital community organizations across the Pacific Northwest. 

With every purchase of Spicy Mango Uprising, Thorntail will donate proceeds to local nonprofits fighting for social justice, including those that provide legal support, amplify marginalized voices, and work toward a more equitable future. It’s a new way to sip with purpose—and a flavorful reminder that small choices can fuel big change. 

“We believe that what you drink can be more than just refreshing—it can make a difference in the community,” said Michelle VandenBrink, Co-Founder and Director of Community Engagement. “Spicy Mango Uprising is our way of blending bold flavor with bold values, and supporting the people and organizations making real change happen.” 

Available mid-June at more than 200 stores across Washington and Oregon, Spicy Mango Uprising joins Thorntail’s core lineup of tropical favorites: Pineapple Tangerine, Passionfruit Guava, and Sea Salt Lime. Each can is crafted with clean, natural ingredients, boasting 5% ABV, only 110–120 calories, and 1–2 grams of sugar.
