Why 21Seeds Is The Best Drink For This Year’s Cinco De Mayo

After a very weird year, we're ready to embrace any and all holidays, big or small. We could all use an excuse to celebrate right now, and luckily one of our favorite days of the year is peaking its head on the horizon-- Cinco De Mayo!

This annual fiesta marks the beginning of summer and gets us in the mood for fruity drinks and fun in the sun. This year, our editors are planning to embrace May 5th in a big way, and we all agree the basis for any good fiesta is obviously tequila!

While we love a margarita, we always find ourselves wishing there was a less sugary way to get our fix. There are a million brands out there, but we recently discovered one that gives us all of the flavor with a lot less of the guilt.

Meet 21Seeds, a female-founded line of tequila that not only tastes amazing, but is also keto-friendly, gluten-free, and non-GMO!

This all-natural line of blanco tequilas comes in three refreshing flavors; Valencia Orange, Grapefruit Hibiscus, and Cucumber Jalapeño. Each one we tried was even more delicious than the last, and the best part? They don't require any sugary syrups or mixers to make them taste amazing!

Infused with real fruits, 21Seeds' flavor is smooth and refreshing. In the past, our Cinco De Mayo celebrations have consisted of way too many sugary, frozen drinks. But since 21Seeds is so good on its own, this year we'll be adding some fresh grapefruit and seltzer to make a truly delicious and easy cocktail. That means we can save our calories for endless tacos and guac!

While the main thing we look for in an alcohol brand is obviously the quality and taste, we are always here for a brand that has been born out of passion, and that's another reason why we love 21Seeds so much.

Kat, one of its 3 founders, was told by her doctor that she had to cut her daily glass of wine from her diet. Determined to still enjoy an after-work drink, Kat set out on a mission to find a better alternative that wouldn't leave her feeling sluggish the next day. Kat's doctor had recommended drinking something distilled, like tequila, but like most of us, she only ever drank tequila in the form of the odd shot or marg.

Wanting flavor but not an overload of sugar, she began infusing her tequila with fresh fruit and quickly discovered that she had created something original and unique. Spurred on by how much her girlfriends were raving about her creation, Kat, her sister Nicole and BFF Sakira traveled to Mexico where they found a partner distillery owned and mostly staffed by women and began the 21Seeds journey.

This Cinco De Mayo, less is more. Enjoy a fun, refreshing cocktail (responsibly!) with some friends and our new go-to: 21Seeds.
