- its Margarita drinks contain tequila by marketing them as “sparkling margarita[s]” when, according to the complaint, the drinks don’t contain any tequila,
- its Mojito and Sparkling Classic Cocktails contain rum when, according to the complaint, the beverages don’t contain any rum, and
- its Rosé and Sangria drinks contain wine when, according to the complaint, the beverages don’t contain any wine.
