Hailee Steinfeld has made a significant leap from the entertainment world to the food and beverage industry with the launch of her new canned drink line called Angel Margarita. On Wednesday, February 12, the multitalented actress and singer introduced this exciting venture, bringing a unique blend of flavors to parties and gatherings everywhere. The experience of transitioning from performing in front of the camera to behind-the-scenes taste-testing was described by the Edge of Seventeen star as “surreal.”
Steinfeld shared her enthusiasm with PEOPLE magazine, saying, “I have always been intrigued by this ready-to-drink space. And I never thought that I would be able to be a part of something so unique and so special, and with the most incredible team.” She likened the process of introducing Angel Margarita to that of her previous artistic endeavors. “It’s kind of like when you’re working on a film or you’re making a song,” she explained, noting the anticipation of sharing her work with others, whether they be viewers or now tasters of her drink.
The 28-year-old’s new drink line features four tantalizing flavors: Lime, Grapefruit Paloma, Ranch Water, and her personal favorite, Wild Berry. Each beverage combines sparkling water, agave syrup, natural flavors, and 100% agave tequila. Sourced and manufactured in Jalisco, Mexico, these drinks have developed over the years through collaboration with Premium Beers Group’s Jordi Zindel and Rodrigo Hernandez.
When it came time to select the final flavors, Steinfeld and her team engaged in taste tests that were as much about the atmosphere as they were about quality. “It’s like you’re trying on a dress for an event,” she elaborated, “So, how could we not create this vibe of, ‘This is one scenario, one of many, that we could be enjoying this beverage’?” This innovative approach exemplifies her commitment to crafting an unforgettable drinking experience.
The Angel Margarita brand takes its name from the Angel of Independence, a well-known monument in Mexico City, and features this iconic landmark on its cans to represent the company’s core values of Authenticity, Quality, and Celebration. Steinfeld commented on the brand identity, emphasizing the importance of togetherness, stating, “It’s just about being together and celebrating life and all that life has to offer.”
Regarding personal use, Hailee expressed her excitement for Angel Margarita for casual gatherings with friends. “I take it right out of the fridge, pour over some ice with a garnish, and it’s the most perfect margarita,” she noted. Moreover, she shared how the drink plays a role in her cooking experiences with fiancé Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. “I think there’s something so sophisticated about cooking with a great little cocktail,” Steinfeld added, explaining that cooking is one of their favorite shared activities, further enhancing the joy of their time together.
“I’m a real good sous chef, I’ll say that much. I can assist very well,” she joked, praising Allen’s culinary skills but emphasizing that her role is one of support, helping him create memorable meals.
Starting on March 3, Angel Margarita will be available online and in Southern California, with pricing set at $15 for four-packs and $29 for eight-packs. This launch not only signifies the expansion of Steinfeld’s career beyond acting and music but also invites fans and newcomers alike to enjoy a taste of her creativity. As Hailee Steinfeld continues to reinvent herself, the introduction of Angel Margarita could mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her multifaceted journey.
