First launched 23 years ago in France, Desperados is the world’s first and leading tequila flavoured beer with 5.9% alcohol content. An amalgamation of a spirit and a beer, such concoctions have been nicknamed “Speers” and have a higher alcohol content than average beers.
We were greeted at the door with freshly chilled bottles of Desperados. A combination of flashing neon lights and booming party tracks, spun by DJ Adrian Wee from Zouk, immediately created a club-like ambience.
Others at the launch commented that Desperados reminded them of Tiger Radler, a lemon flavoured beer. However, it wasn’t as sweet as the Radler – and with an alcohol content that is 3.9% higher, this party drink definitely offers more!
And what’s a party without a photo booth? There was a station set up as a prison cell, with batons and handcuffs as props, in keeping with the theme of the party. No, it wasn’t kinky or anything – the launch invited guests with the “Licence to Party”, so the photo booth setting was meant for delinquents or in other words, the “desperados”. How apt!
Desperados is available in Singapore at leading party bars, pubs and clubs such as Zouk, Attica and Pump Room; as well as convenience stores and supermarkets like FairPrice Finest and Cold Storage.
Do note that because Desperados is essentially a beer, it is much easier to drink than regular spirits. Therefore, be warned – don’t consume it too rapidly because its alcohol content is higher than average beers. Drink responsibly!
