Jarritos is made in fruit flavors, with cane sugar and is less carbonated than popular soft drinks . [4] It is made in Mexico. Many Jarritos varieties are naturally flavored. The word jarrito means "little jug" in Spanish and refers to the Mexican tradition of storing drinks in clay pottery jugs. [4] Produced in Mexico, they are sold throughout the Americas .

History [ edit ]

The original Jarritos was a coffee -flavored drink, before moving to fruit flavors. [5] Shortly after launching the first Jarritos in Mexico City, Francisco Hill developed a process to remove tamarind juice extract to create the first tamarind-flavored soft drink in Mexico: Jarritos Tamarindo. [4] Hill quickly followed with Mandarin, Lemon and Fruit Punch flavors, gaining greater market share. [6] By 1960, Jarritos had secured distribution in 80 percent of Mexico’s 31 states. [7]

Exports to the United States began in 1988. [7] According to the 2009 edition of the book Mexico Greatest Brands , 6000 bottles of Jarritos are shipped across the border each minute. Jarritos is now present in 42 countries.

Jarritos and Nike collaborated to make a Jarritos-inspired Nike Dunk shoe, which was released in May 2023. [8]
