Drizz is bringing its cocktail mixer concept to life with an 11-foot mocktail margarita installation in Dallas on Cinco de Mayo. The artwork transforms its pocket-sized, zero-sugar drops into a giant-scale, interactive public art inspired by the city’s margarita culture. Conceived as a collective unveiling to the city over the course of a day, it is a rendering of art, culture and beverage innovation in a simple, playful way.

In a press release, Drizz announced that “The World’s Largest Mocktail Margarita” will be appearing at a Dallas location (to be revealed via @drizz.drops on Instagram) on May 5, in true street-art fashion.

It is meant to be experienced and discovered throughout the day, filled with Drizz Margarita Cocktail Drops. 

Audiences are invited to follow @drizz.drops to track the build process, location reveal, and stories shared along the way.

The contrast is the brand: a bottle that fits in a pocket, a margarita that doesn’t fit in a room. A 2oz Drizz makes 30 cocktails or mocktails. At Texas scale, it makes one 11-foot mocktail margarita. Same product. Same logic. Just bigger. The activation also nods to Dallas’s place in cocktail history: the city is the birthplace of the frozen margarita, invented in 1971 by Mariano Martinez at Mariano’s Mexican Cuisine.

The original machine now sits in the Smithsonian. Drizz’s concentrated format is what made the scale possible. Small bottles, big output: dozens of Drizz bottles, water, and weeks of hands-on construction by the founder produced the largest mocktail margarita on public record.

A small bottle that does the work of something much larger is exactly why Drizz exists. That same belief in giving people the tools to mix their own drinks runs through the brand’s full portfolio, including Drizz’s Unflavored Energy Drops, which let users add caffeine to any drink, anytime.

Drizz recently won the 2025 Walmart Golden Ticket for its Cocktail Mixer Drops line, was named an Albertsons Innovation Launchpad Finalist, and was selected as a BevNet New Beverage Showdown Semifinalist. Drizz is sold on Amazon and Walmart.com, distributed via McLane, Core-Mark, and Cencora, with its most recent major retail expansion landing brand-level distribution in 241 AAFES military exchange locations globally.

“Drizz is about making things better. Turning ordinary drinks, ordinary moments, ordinary days into something more memorable,” says founder Rodrigo Ricaud. “This generation is starving for real-life moments. People want to show up somewhere, meet someone, share something. Beverages have always been a medium for connection. This is us bringing that belief to life, at Texas scale.”

The installation is designed for public interaction. Four hand-painted panels frame the structure, two of which invite passersby to write directly on them. The cultural panel, Panel 3, was carved out specifically for a Dallas-based Latino artist. That panel was painted by Jesus Alba, the Mexican-American muralist behind more than twenty works across Dallas. Alba’s recent work includes a Battle of Puebla mural at Jerry’s Supermarket on Jefferson Boulevard, restored for the Oak Cliff Coalition for the Arts in time for this year’s Cinco de Mayo. Drizz approached Alba as a creative partner, letting his history, culture, and art shine in his own light to tell the story.

Ricaud is the great-great-great-grandson of former Mexican President Porfirio Díaz, who fought at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, the battle Cinco de Mayo commemorates, in which Mexican forces repelled a French invasion. Díaz later promoted the date into the major national holiday it became, embraced by Mexican-Americans as a symbol of cultural pride during the 1960s Chicano civil rights movement. Ricaud descends through his grandmother, Amada Guedea Rincón Gallardo, Díaz’s “bisnieta” (great-granddaughter).

The date carries personal weight for Ricaud. “Cinco de Mayo’s always been personal for me,” he says. “My grandma’s grandma, Luz Aurora Victoria Díaz, was born on Cinco de Mayo of 1875. She was Porfirio’s daughter, and he gave her the middle name Victoria because she was born on the anniversary of the victory at Puebla. Cinco de Mayo is a story about resilience, about standing your ground and finding a way to win when the odds are against you. That’s what entrepreneurship is too. That’s what building Drizz has been.”
