National Tequila Day is Sunday July 24, and while I can’t partake in the festivities this year because I have a baby on the way I did round up several drinks you could try to celebrate!
Tequila is one of the oldest spirits and the Tequila we know and love today was created in the 1600s when the first tequila license was issued by the king of Spain.
Onda Tequila Seltzers

Villa One Tequila
If mixology is more your thing, make your own favorite tequila-based cocktail with Villa One – co-founded by musician Nick Jonas and designer John Varvatos. Nick & John worked with Arturo Fuentes, known as the “Godfather of Tequila,” who has over 30 years of distilling experience, to create Villa One. They developed the perfect recipes to create Villa One’s three expressions – Silver, Reposado, and Añejo. Villa One sources agave from both the highland and lowland regions of Jalisco, Mexico giving it a unique, distinct, and rounded profile.Villa One is available in stores nationwide (see HERE for a store locator) as well as online at Total Wine & More, Wine.com, Instacart, Bottle Republic, and more!
