Dallas, TX — August 28, 2025 — JAS, the women-founded brand of alcohol-free functional cocktails inspired by Latin American flavors, has launched in 95 Whole Foods Market stores across Texas, California, Arizona, and Nevada.
Created by beverage entrepreneur Cecilia Rios Murrieta and a team of spirits industry veterans, JAS is reimagining cocktails without alcohol. Each drink blends authentic Latin-inspired recipes with functional botanicals such as Ashwagandha, Yerba Mate, and Lion’s Mane — designed to deliver both flavor and purpose.
The current lineup includes:
- Paloma Libre — grapefruit, lime, and Ashwagandha for balance and relaxation
- Mojito Fresco — mint, lime, and Yerba Mate for sustained natural energy
- Carajillo Tejas (launching 2025) — Mexican coffee with Lion’s Mane for focus and clarity
“This Whole Foods launch marks a huge step forward for JAS,” said Cecilia Rios Murrieta, Co-Founder & CEO of JAS. “We’re proud to bring a women-founded, culturally rooted brand to market — one that celebrates bold flavors and mindful choices, while staying true to our heritage in the Latin American spirits world.”
“Coming from years in spirits marketing, I know how much people value the experience of a well-crafted cocktail,” added Jaymee Mandeville, Co-Founder of JAS. “With JAS, we’ve created something that delivers that same excitement and flavor, but in an alcohol-free, functional format that fits today’s lifestyles.”
The Whole Foods rollout builds on JAS’s momentum from completing the PepsiCo Greenhouse Accelerator: Juntos Crecemos program. JAS also recently secured a $40K MEGA Grant from the Texas Department of Agriculture. Distribution continues to expand through specialty retailers like Bristol Farms and DashMart, with upcoming launches planned in H-E-B across Texas.
