Supertasterz: Arkansas-Made Mixers Bringing Premium Flavor to Cocktails Across the State

When it comes to elevating cocktails in Arkansas, one local brand is quietly making big waves: Supertasterz, a Little Rock–based producer specializing in premium, small-batch sauces, mixers, and fermented chili products. While the company originally gained attention for its gourmet hot sauces, Supertasterz is now stepping firmly into the world of craft cocktails with Arkansas-made products that pair beautifully with spirits found across the state.

From their expanding line of Arkansas Diamond Fire mixers to innovative flavor-driven ingredients designed for bartenders and home mixologists, Supertasterz is carving out a niche as one of Arkansas’s most interesting contributors to the cocktail scene.

Here’s a closer look at the Supertasterz products that cross directly into the liquor and mixology market — along with insight into who is behind the brand and what makes them uniquely Arkansas.

🍅 Arkansas Diamond Fire Bloody Mary Mix

This is arguably Supertasterz’s most recognizable crossover into the liquor world — a small-batch, premium Bloody Mary mix crafted right here in Arkansas.

What sets it apart?

• Built around their signature salt-fermented cayenne peppers.
• Balanced heat with bright acidity, making it cocktail-ready.
• Ideal body for mixing – neither too watery nor overly thick.
• Developed to complement vodka, but bold enough to pair with tequila, bourbon, or even aquavit in a savory mix.
• Because it’s made locally by Jason and Elizabeth in Little Rock, it gives bars and liquor retailers an Arkansas-first angle to promote.

If your store or club specializes in brunch cocktails, local products, or Arkansas-first offerings, this one stands out.

🔥 Arkansas Diamond Fire Champagne Pepper Sauce — A Cocktail Garnish Game-Changer

While technically a hot sauce, this product unexpectedly showed up behind several Arkansas bars as a cocktail rim and garnish enhancer.

Here’s why bartenders like it:

• It adds a refined, Champagne-rounded heat to micheladas and tomato-based cocktails.
• Works great for spicy margarita rims — the elevated ingredients (including Champagne) bring something beyond standard hot sauce.
• Can be used sparingly in savory cocktails (for example: a whiskey-tomato savory old-fashioned) or into a custom simple syrup.
• Being locally made, it gives bars a “Made in Arkansas” talking point, tying into the state’s craft spirits scene.

🍄 Opera Sauce Mediterranean Hot Sauce — Great for Savory & Aperitif-Style Cocktails

This one is more experimental, but one that’s getting attention from Arkansas mixologists who lean craft or culinary-style.

Why it works:

• Uses porcini mushrooms for umami depth along with lemon, garlic, and Mediterranean spices. s
• Enhances tomato-based drinks (e.g., Bloody Maria) or spirit-forward savory cocktails (gin, mezcal).
• The brand’s back-story says Opera Sauce was launched in June 2022, by the Cummings team.
• Because Jason’s background is in recipe development and high-end flavor work, this sauce is positioned as far more gourmet than your typical chili sauce.

Creative bartenders in Arkansas have used it in:

• Bloody Maria (tequila)
• Red Snapper / Gin-based Bloody Mary variant
• Mezcal or tequila + savory tomato + Opera Sauce for a deeper umami profile

Again, the local production and high craft level make it a standout for bars wanting to highlight Arkansas craft.

🌶️ Fermented Chili Bases & Pepper Purées — For Craft Cocktail Programs

Beyond standalone bottled mixers, Supertasterz offers fermented chili bases and pepper purées which find their way into full cocktail programs.

These aren’t always bottled “cocktail mixers” per se, but they are ingredients that bartenders integrate into:

• Homemade spicy syrups
• Tinctures or infusions for craft cocktails
• Savory margarita blends
• Custom michelada mixes

In a cocktail world that increasingly values fermentation, small-batch ingredients, and natural flavor profiles, Supertasterz gives Arkansas bartenders an authentic local option — rather than relying solely on national suppliers.

Why Supertasterz Matters to Arkansas’s Spirits Scene

• Locally produced in Little Rock by Arkansas residents — it’s truly “Arkansas made.”
• High-quality ingredients — Champagne, fermented cayenne, porcini mushrooms, etc., suggest premium positioning.
• Serves both home consumers (via retail) and professional bar programs.
• Gives Arkansas liquor stores and cocktail bars a chance to highlight local mixers on shelves and menus.
• Helps enhance the state’s craft spirits culture, allowing a cocktail built in Arkansas to be “from Arkansas” in more than just the spirit.

As Arkansas’s craft spirits culture grows — with local distilleries, single-barrel communities, and specialty liquor retailers expanding statewide — mixers like these help complete the ecosystem: local spirit + local mixer = full-local drink.
