21 Seeds is a now well-established brand of flavored tequila made with all-natural fruit infusions. Available in three flavors \u2014 Valencia Orange, Grapefruit Hibiscus, and Cucumber Jalape\u00f1o \u2014 the tequila is \u201ccultivated from a proprietary blend of agaves from the lowland and highland regions of Jalisco\u201d and bottled without the addition of high fructose corn syrup. It\u2019s unclear if the base tequila is 100% agave; it doesn\u2019t indicate either way on the bottle or in the marketing collateral.<\/p>\n The spirits are designed \u201cfor Her by Her,\u201d according to the company, and while I\u2019m a he\/him, I\u2019m giving them a try anyway.<\/p>\n In 2025, this review was updated from our coverage of just the Valencia Orange expression (in 2021) to include all three 21 Seeds expressions.<\/p>\n All expressions are 70 proof. NOM 1438.<\/p>\n On the nose: Exceptionally strong orange, tangerine-sweet, with no real evidence of the tequila underpinnings in the mix. Breathe deep and you get\u2026 a hint of lemon, vaguely floral. The palate is quite sweet, with a flood of orange followed by some vanilla and marshmallow notes. A sprinkle of green herbs is the only hint that this is tequila, not vodka \u2014 or possibly triple sec. If overwhelming orange character from start to finish is what you\u2019re after, well, you found it.\u00a0Valencia Orange feels like it\u2019s tailor-made for margaritas (and you can skip the orange liqueur) \u2014 and little else that I can fathom. B<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the go-to tequila my wife uses for ranch water cocktails, and it\u2019s a great pick for margaritas and other fruit-forward tequila drinks, too. Lightly sweet with strong grapefruit overtones, served neat the tequila recalls flat Squirt soda with a squeeze of lime to add some nuance. The hibiscus is readily evident on both nose and palate, but it is nuanced, lacking the pungent floral\/perfumed quality that hibiscus-heavy beverages can often have. Those subtle floral notes are responsible for elevating this expression beyond the one-note character that the Valencia Orange seems to have, and it also helps to tame any overt booziness from rearing its head. Good stuff. A<\/strong><\/p>\n Surprisingly pungent on the nose, quite green in both vegetal and peppery ways. With time in glass it\u2019s the cucumber that comes to dominate, offering a full-on spa water experience. The palate is sweeter than expected, with a surprising milk chocolate note and some almond elements up front. The peppery jalapeno roars back into focus quickly, though, balancing out any sweeter qualities with a racy but not overwhelming amount of spice. Earthy on the finish, the cucumber is unmistakable, though somewhat blunt. Spicy margarita fodder, to be sure.
