The Story
Chaparritas began in 1937 and launched in 1947 as El Naranjo before taking its famous name in 1953 — inspired by its short ("chaparrita") bottle. Made by Del Fruto, the same house behind Sangria Senorial and Barrilitos, it was the first soda in Mexico sold without carbonation. Find it in our exotic sodas collection with the rest of the lineup.
