Miami Living: As a Miami-born brand now expanding across Florida with Southern Glazer’s, how has the city helped shape Revello? Matt Teitelbaum: Miami is a city where people train hard in the morning and go out hard at night, and they never see those things as opposites. People here care about what they eat, what they drink, and how they live, but they also know how to enjoy themselves. There’s no contradiction between wellness and celebration. Miami was recently named one of the most wellness-focused cities in America, while Miami Beach remains one of the country’s premier nightlife destinations. In many ways, that balance is exactly what Revello represents. I don’t think Revello could have been born anywhere else. And with Southern Glazer’s behind us, we’re able to bring the brand across Florida with a level of reach that usually takes years to build. Miami Living: The mixers are made with clean ingredients, balanced sweetness, and added electrolytes, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. How did you approach creating a more thoughtful mixer without losing the taste and experience people expect? Matt Teitelbaum: Taste came first. Always. Our philosophy was simple: if improving the nutrition compromised the flavor even slightly, it didn’t make the cut. We spent an enormous amount of time finding that balance, keeping calories and sugar as low as possible while still delivering a mixer that works beautifully in a cocktail and tastes great on its own. That’s really what “Mix With Benefits” means: better ingredients without giving up the experience. Miami Living: The initial lineup includes six mixers, from tonic water and ginger beer to sparkling grapefruit and lemon. How did you decide which products to include? Matt Teitelbaum: We started with the classics because that’s what people already reach for. The goal wasn’t to invent another trendy flavor. It was to modernize the staples that sit behind almost every great cocktail and mocktail. Innovation isn’t always about invention. Sometimes it’s about making something familiar better.
