Cinco de Mayo is two days away! If you plan on drinking tequila like many of us do, then you’ll probably want to try Dulce Vida, an authentic and delicious infused tequila that comes in a variety of flavors that just work so well for cocktails as well as for sipping on their own! This is one of the most awarded tequilas in the market thats also produced sustainably and distilled in Mexico.

“Dulce Vida produces our tequila in the village of San Ignacio Cerro Gordo at Campanario (NOM 1443) utilizing a Maquila approach to our operations, whereby our team is actively engaged in every detail, from harvest through distillation & aging. This vertically integrated approach is very different from an arms-length transaction of importing product, or buying liquid from a distillery.”Dulcevidaspirits.com

They have some amazing flavors including Pineapple Jalapeño, Grapefruit, and Lime which is a nice refreshing classic. The Pineapple Jalapeño creates really fun cocktails and is the perfect balance between fruit and spice.
