Desperado drink origin

The Desperado drink was first created in Alsace, France, by Michel Debus, one of the most famous French brewers of the 20th century.

The Fischer Brewery, founded in 1821 in Strasbourg, first produced Desperados. With the recent success of the beer, production has now moved to the Netherlands, not surprisingly, as Heineken took over the brewery in 1996. Does this make it any less exotic or “cool”? Hardly; it’s only a lager, after all, with a bit of tequila thrown in.

This beer can be seen as an alternative to spirits and shots on a night out and is specially targeted at the young ones who like to get wasted quickly. The Desperados drink is now managed by the Desperados.

A disruptive product, the Desperado drink began to cross borders and quickly became a success in Germany and, from there, spread throughout Europe. Today, it is an iconic beer for young Nigerians, thanks to the unique and daring character of the drink.

Tequila is similar to champagne in that it is a protected product that can only be referred to as tequila if it is indeed made in certain regions in Mexico. The Heineken company, its producer, buys tequila flavouring from Mexico.
