Rolling up to a party or happy hour with a case of spiked seltzer is, well, predictable. We can be more creative, people! That's why I was so excited to arrive at a cookbook party with 21 Seeds tequila founder and CEO Kat Hantas. She had put out the most epic "Seed and Soda" spread; it was a table filled with tequila options, club sodas, and fresh toppings. Putting together my drink was way more fun (and Instagrammable) than popping open a can.
Beyond being a fun process, I can honestly say I'm obsessed with 21 Seeds tequilas. The company uses handpicked fruits to infuse its tequila. It's even built a custom refrigeration system at its distillery. 21 Seeds is committed to using all-natural ingredients, and if I'm being real, you can totally taste the difference.
Read on to get all the details on this woman-founded tequila brand, then find out where to shop it for yourself.

Set Up a "Seed and Soda" Bar at Home
This gorgeous spread would be totally easy to set up at home. All you need are tequila, club soda, and some fresh fruit slices. I love that there was even a little bowl of flowers so you could truly make your cocktail photo-worthy.

Hantas, along with her sister Nicole Hantas-Emanuel and friend Sarika Singh, built the brand together. We love a company run by women!
Nutrition and Wellness With Kelly LeVeque
After putting together our cocktails, we had the most amazing, healthy dinner from the new book Body Love Every Day: Choose Your Life-Changing 21-Day Path to Food Freedom ($18, originally $30). Author and nutritionist Kelly LeVeque was there to talk to us about her new book — she's a big 21 Seeds fan, too!
