Tesso

Tesso is a premium ready-to-drink (RTD) canned cocktail brand specializing in tequila espresso martinis. The company positions itself within the fast-growing RTD alcoholic beverage segment, offering a consumer-ready version of one of the most popular cocktail orders in bars and restaurants. Tesso's flagship product is a tequila espresso martini crafted with 100% real tequila, natural flavors, and formulated at 12.5% alcohol by volume — closely replicating the strength and taste profile of a traditionally mixed espresso martini. At only 165 calories per serving, the product is designed to appeal to health-conscious consumers who do not want to sacrifice flavor or experience for a lighter option. The brand emphasizes clean formulation with no additives, distinguishing itself from competing RTD products that may rely on artificial flavors or lower-quality spirits. Tesso targets social occasions — happy hours, nights out, gatherings, and bar settings — marketing the espresso martini as a socially contagious drink that drives group adoption. The product is designed for convenience, allowing consumers to enjoy a bar-quality cocktail without the need for equipment, barista skills, or multiple ingredients. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via ground shipping, currently available in more than 42 U.S. states, with fulfillment timelines of approximately two weeks from order placement and up to seven business days in transit. The brand currently does not ship to Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, or Utah due to state alcohol shipping regulations. Tesso is positioned as a lifestyle brand as much as a beverage product, emphasizing the cultural moment and social energy associated with espresso martini culture.
