KDHamptons Books, Bubbly, Blooms Party: Sneak Peak Into the Must Try 21 Seeds Cocktails Being Served

SHARE

KDHamptons & LUX magazine is excited to serve the hottest tequila of summer,  21 SEEDS, at our upcoming Books, Bubbly, Blooms party in partnership with Bedside Reading. In anticipation for the event, here is a sneak peak into what we will be serving with recipes you can try at home, and a bit of the backstory about 21 SEEDS. 

Founder and CEO Kat Hantas shares, “I created 21SEEDS because it’s what I wanted to drink – something smooth, simple, and casual with a fresh, natural flavor that made drinking infused tequila as approachable as a glass of wine. Before it was a brand it was just a couple of bottles infused in my kitchen with things I had on hand. Cucumbers, jalapeños, oranges, and grapefruit all worked in flavored tequila cocktails, so why not just add them straight to the tequila? I’d bring a bottle to a party, and before long we’d all be sitting around the table drinking our infused tequila spritzes in our beloved wine glasses, sharing stories and laughing at old jokes. Friends asked for bottles of their own, and they shared them with their friends.”

“What began as one bottle turned into dozens…and eventually a new beginning. So, I knew I had to think bigger. I called my sister Nicole and our friend Sarika, and we started talking about the possibilities. We found a female-led distillery– a perfect fit. We worked on different infusions and got each recipe just right. We came up with a name. Two sisters and one friend: 21SEEDS was born.”
