A bottle of Jarritos in tamarind flavor.

Jarritos is a popular brand of soft drink in Mexico. Jarritos was started by Don Francisco "El Güero" Hill in 1950. Jarritos is made in fruit flavors and is less carbonated than soft drinks made in the United States or Canada. Many Jarritos flavors are naturally flavored.[1] The word jarrito means "little jug" in Spanish and refers to the Mexican tradition of drinking water and other drinks in clay pottery jugs. In 1989, the first importation of Jarritos to retail stores in the U.S. began; by 1997, Jarritos became the most popular soft drink in the U.S. among Latino consumers. The Jarritos brand is currently owned by the AGA Group, a large independent-bottling conglomerate based in Guadalajara, Jalisco, although it's also produced and distributed in some areas of Mexico by The Pepsi Bottling Group and by Cott.
