About
As of 2026, it's 76 years old.
Jarritos is a Mexican soda that comes in roughly every fruit flavor imaginable — tamarind, mandarin, guava, jamaica, lime — in bright glass bottles named after the little clay jugs of traditional drinks. Picking a flavor is half the fun; finding your favorite is a personal journey.
Founded in Mexico in 1950 and carried north by the diaspora, it became the unofficial house soda of taquerías everywhere, the perfect fruity counterpoint to a plate of tacos.
Fizzy, fruity, and gloriously varied, Jarritos is the soda that makes choosing a flavor feel like a small, delicious commitment.
