Order up a tequila and hold the artificial flavorings. This woman-owned brand is keeping it real.
21Seeds has hit the Mulberry MAX shelves, and we think it’s a tasty, approachable line of infused tequilas with a fun backstory that might spark your interest. They’ll bring new flavor to your tequila cocktails, in more ways than one.
The idea for 21Seeds arose from the founders’ idea that people love to flavor their tequila drinks with fruits and other natural ingredients. The founders often did so themselves at home, dumping their tequila into jars with jalapenos, oranges, cucumbers and more.
They realized that the idea of tequilas infused with actual fruit, instead of a bunch of artificial flavorings, had broad appeal. So they found a woman-owned distillery that could help them perfect their recipes and execute their vision, and they quickly built an enthusiastic fan base. 21Seeds (named because the founders are 2 sisters and 1 friend) was suddenly a thing.
3 vibrant tequilas infused with natural flavors
The 21Seeds team settled on three core flavor blends, and you can find them all at The MAX. Here are distiller notes on each:
- Cucumber Jalapeño Blanco Tequila is a true sensory experience. An easy to use, spicy tequila to enjoy in cocktails like 21Seeds + Soda or a Spicy Margarita. Delicious, bright, and crisp with a cucumber nose and a refined spicy jalapeño finish.
- 21Seeds Valencia Orange Blanco Tequila is a tropical, easy-to-use flavored tequila perfect for lower calorie cocktails like a Negroni or a Margarita. The combination of Blanco tequila infused with the juice of real oranges creates a smooth spirit with bright orange notes that isn’t too sweet.
- 21Seeds Grapefruit Hibiscus Blanco Tequila is bright and citrus-forward without being sugary. Enjoy it in a lower calorie cocktail like 21Seeds + Soda or a Paloma. Pale pink in color with delicious aromas of fresh grapefruit peels.
