Notas de Agave is Seedlip’s answer to a true margarita flavor. A blend of prickly pear cactus, lime, agave, vanilla, peppercorns, and Damiana flowers, the aroma calls you to a salty breeze and a sandy beach.

Caleño describes a 48 hour steel tank distillation process on their website. They start with fruits and spices, distill for 48 hours, then let the distillation mature for 2 weeks before bottling.

With the 5 flavor options I’ve seen, Light & Zesty, Dark & Spicy, Passion Fruit Martini, Mojito, and Pineapple Piña Colada, I’d be pretty happy to stock these at a summer party.

Their website has few details about their ingredients and offerings. The beverage that drew me in is Little Saints St. Ember. The bottle label says it is a bespoke non-alcoholic spirit with a lot of spice and a little smoke, and a curious blend of palo santo, ginger, cardamom, and lion’s mane mushrooms.

Mushrooms seem to be the main ingredient carried through the offerings. They also have cans of Negroni Spritz, Paloma, Spicy Margarita, and Ginger Mule. I’m not able to find any of their items on Amazon as of time of publication.

I’d love to try them and give a review, but it looks like I’ll have to wait a bit to get my Prime Delivery!

His shop website states that the flavor of the Tequila Alternative is “citrus and roasted agave” with a peppery finish. I’m really interested in trying this and seeing if it evokes a taste of mezcal with the roasted agave.

The Gin Alternative is described as having a “complex aroma of red berries, red peppercorns and subtle cucumber notes” with a juniper finish. I’d want to see how strong the juniper is, since a lot of people don’t like an overwhelming juniper gin. Sounds like it might be good with lime though! (a gimlet)
