Volley’s Zesty Lime flavor was honored with a gold medal from the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI), receiving 92 points in the Low-Calorie Ready-to-Drink Cocktail category. Zesty Lime Volley is classified as an “exceptional” beverage by BTI. 


Tastings.com, a website owned by BTI, describes Zesty Lime Volley as, “A rock-solid Tequila cocktail that delivers yummy agave flavors with a refreshing lime pop.” They also detail Zesty Lime Volley having, “aromas and flavors of earthy agave, lime zest, clay, and hints of ginger with a supple, crisp, dryish light body and a seamless, stimulating, medium-length finish that presents overtones of crisp lime seltzer finish.”


BTI has become the most comprehensive and reliable source for alcohol beverage product testing and professional reviews in the world. It establishes and advocates for the highest standards in the beverage industry.


The awards are determined by a panel comprised of leading buyers, beverage directors, and top bartenders that are trained as sensory analysts. These panelists then evaluate products using their extensive professional experience and BTI-trained palates. Finally, the panel discusses their findings as a group while a BTI moderator records their attitudes, impressions, and conclusions.
