Beyond their achievements in football, the Pouncey twins ventured into entrepreneurship with the launch of J.F. Haden’s Mango Liqueur. The flagship product is J.F. Haden’s Mango Liqueur, inspired by the iconic mangoes cultivated in the area since the early 20th century. This rich heritage began when retired U.S. Army officer Captain John J. Haden planted the four dozen Mulgoba mango seedlings he brought from Palm Beach to his home in Coconut Grove.

 

J.F. Haden’s Mango Liqueur is crafted using ripe mangoes and premium ingredients, resulting in a smooth, sweet, and fruity beverage that has garnered attention in the spirits industry. Its refreshing taste makes it a versatile addition to cocktails or enjoyable on its own, embodying the Pouncey twins’ commitment to quality and innovation.

 

The launch of this liqueur represents a new chapter for the Pouncey twins as they seek to build successful brands beyond their football careers. It highlights their entrepreneurial spirit and desire to create something unique that resonates with their roots.
