Caleb Pressley, best known across the Internet for his cheeky Sundae Conversations\u00a0<\/i>interviews with Drake, Ed Sheeran and more, is throwing his hat into the lucrative spirits market.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Pressley teamed up with Piermont Brands to unveil Chica~Chida, a peanut butter agave spirit plastered with the slogan “Respect La Mera Mera!” (Respect the Boss! in English). There’s a lot to say about what’s inside the bottle, so let’s dive into the details:<\/p>\n

The spirit is made in the eponymous town of Tequila, Jalisco, though Chica~Chida is technically not classified as a tequila. Rather, it’s distilled from smoky Agave Espadin, best known for its use in mezcal.<\/p>\n

From there, Chica~Chida is blended with allergen-free peanut butter extract and bottled at 64-proof, introducing a flavor profile and alcohol content closest in inspiration to a liqueur.<\/p>\n

“Chica~Chida is peanut butter, butt better. I say Butt because Chica~Chida makes my tonsils twerk and my brain bounce that ass,” declares Pressley in a press release.<\/p>\n

“This enchanting potion combines the energy of Tequila, Mexico with the flavor of Everywhere, America. I know that because I\u2019m on it right now. My dream is to one day have kids who grow to be 21 years old so they can sip Chica~Chida themselves. Or 18 if we live in Europe which I don\u2019t foresee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Chica~Chida is not officially made in collaboration with Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy’s media empire has launched its fair share of successful alcohol brands. In 2019, the company inroduced Pink Whitney<\/a>, a pink lemonade-flavored vodka backed by ex-NHL players Ryan Whitney and Paul Bissonette of the Spittin\u2019 Chiclets podcast. A few years later, Barstool joined forces with the makers of Four Loko to debut Pirate Water<\/a>, a line of 10% ABV ready-to-drink malt beverages. Both drinks are a common sight on college campuses across the country.<\/p>\n

For the time being, Chica~Chida is available only in New Jersey, with plans to expand to Florida and South Carolina next month followed by a phased expansion plan. Find the brand’s website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
