21 Seeds is a now well-established model of flavored tequila made with all-natural fruit infusions. Out there in three flavors — Valencia Orange, Grapefruit Hibiscus, and Cucumber Jalapeño — the tequila is “cultivated from a proprietary mix of agaves from the lowland and highland areas of Jalisco” and bottled with out the addition of excessive fructose corn syrup. It’s unclear if the bottom tequila is 100% agave; it doesn’t point out both approach on the bottle or within the advertising and marketing collateral.
The spirits are designed “for Her by Her,” in line with the corporate, and whereas I’m a he/him, I’m giving them a attempt anyway.
In 2025, this assessment was up to date from our protection of simply the Valencia Orange expression (in 2021) to incorporate all three 21 Seeds expressions.
All expressions are 70 proof. NOM 1438.
21 Seeds Tequila Valencia Orange Overview
On the nostril: Exceptionally robust orange, tangerine-sweet, with no actual proof of the tequila underpinnings within the combine. Breathe deep and also you get… a touch of lemon, vaguely floral. The palate is sort of candy, with a flood of orange adopted by some vanilla and marshmallow notes. A sprinkle of inexperienced herbs is the one trace that that is tequila, not vodka — or presumably triple sec. If overwhelming orange character from begin to end is what you’re after, properly, you discovered it. Valencia Orange feels prefer it’s tailored for margaritas (and you may skip the orange liqueur) — and little else that I can fathom. B
21 Seeds Tequila Grapefruit Hibiscus Overview
That is the go-to tequila my spouse makes use of for ranch water cocktails, and it’s an ideal decide for margaritas and different fruit-forward tequila drinks, too. Frivolously candy with robust grapefruit overtones, served neat the tequila remembers flat Squirt soda with a squeeze of lime so as to add some nuance. The hibiscus is instantly evident on each nostril and palate, however it’s nuanced, missing the pungent floral/perfumed high quality that hibiscus-heavy drinks can usually have. These delicate floral notes are answerable for elevating this expression past the one-note character that the Valencia Orange appears to have, and it additionally helps to tame any overt booziness from rearing its head. Great things. A
21 Seeds Tequila Cucumber Jalapeno Overview
Surprisingly pungent on the nostril, fairly inexperienced in each vegetal and peppery methods. With time in glass it’s the cucumber that involves dominate, providing a full-on spa water expertise. The palate is sweeter than anticipated, with a stunning milk chocolate be aware and a few almond parts up entrance. The peppery jalapeno roars again into focus shortly, although, balancing out any sweeter qualities with a racy however not overwhelming quantity of spice. Earthy on the end, the cucumber is unmistakable, although considerably blunt. Spicy margarita fodder, to make certain. B+
