Loca Loka, an innovative tequila brand celebrating the vibrant fusion of Indian and Mexican cultures has announced its first major wins at the prestigious 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC). The brand’s Blanco Tequila earned a Gold medal, while the Reposado Tequila was awarded Silver—marking a significant milestone in its journey.
Loca Loka Tequila, distilled from 100% pure highland agave, perfectly balances sweetness and spice. This blend captures the essence of the festive spirit of Mexico and aromatic spices of Indian cuisine, delivering a bold and exquisite experience. More than just a tequila, Loca Loka celebrates a cultural tapestry woven from the rich heritage of India and Mexico. The tequila name, combining the Spanish "LOCA" (crazy) and the Sanskrit "LOKA" (world), captures the essence of a spirit that transcends borders, offering a unique blend of traditions, tastes, and communal joy.
Loca Loka is backed by internationally acclaimed actor Rana Daggubati and music composer Anirudh, one of Spotify's top-streamed artists, as brand co-creators. Together with entrepreneur Harsha Vadlamudi's business acumen, their knack for transcending borders will enrich the Loca Loka journey with creative storytelling, inviting consumers on a unique cultural exploration.
Loca Loka Blanco Tequila, has the blend of the rounder fruity flavors of cooked agave along with the earthier floral flavors of the Highland agaves. The overall experience starts with the cooked agave showing up in the aroma, when sipped you get the fruity flavors and then the finish is subtle with the floral tones.
Loca Loka Reposado Tequila is aged in French and American oak barrels for 4-6 months. The aging imparts a richer aroma and flavors of the Highland blends i.e. a continuation of the Blanco maturation journey.
Both the Blanco (SRP: $39.99) and Reposado (SRP: $49.99) are available in select retail outlets.
