Fall isn’t about slowing down — it’s about turning up the volume on flavor. The nights get cooler, the drinks get bolder, and somewhere between smoke and citrus, something wakes up inside you.

This season, we’re doing it our way — teaming up with 1921, a tequila born of craft, culture, and a healthy disregard for the ordinary. These cocktails aren’t for sipping politely; they’re for tasting, feeling, remembering. Each one tells a story — of fire meeting fruit, of agave taking unexpected turns, of fall refusing to play it safe.

1. CASA Negroni

1921 Tequila Blanco · Campari · Byrrh Quinquina · Rhubarb Liqueur · Luciano Amaro · Toasted Coconut Foam

Classic? Not quite. Reinvented? Absolutely. Mixed. up by Nathan McCullough, this Negroni goes rogue and came back with stories. Bitter, sweet, strange, and beautiful—like most good things in life. The toasted coconut foam adds an almost sinful softness, the kind that makes you question what else you’ve been doing wrong all these years.

2. 1921 Sour

1921 Tequila Blanco · Lemon · Lime · Agave · Egg White

This one doesn’t whisper—it wakes up the palate with a slap of citrus and silk. Julián Flores Torres builds it with precision, balancing brightness with that earthy hum only pure agave can bring. The foam isn’t for show—it’s a texture, a reminder that tequila can be both elegant and wild.

3. La Primavera Blanca

1921 Tequila Blanco · Grapefruit · St-Germain · Simple Syrup

This cocktail by Greg Gresher, starts clean—grapefruit-sharp, almost electric—then eases into floral warmth, like sunlight filtering through a dusty cantina window. It’s a first impression that lingers, somewhere between the hum of conversation and the burn of the good stuff. You could drink three before realizing you’ve been smiling the whole time.

4. Hibiscus Margarita

1921 Tequila Añejo · Hibiscus Syrup · Lime · Orange Liqueur

Brian Fernandez nailed the alchemy here—Añejo’s oak, vanilla, and spice crashing into the floral tartness of hibiscus. It’s a margarita dressed up for fall but still ready to dance barefoot on the bar. The color alone could stop traffic; the flavor makes you stay for another.

5. Dreams

Maria Bonita Mezcal · Mommenpop Seville Orange · Combier Blue · Pineapple · Lime

Raul Pool delivers a fusion of citrus and smoke—sweet one moment, smoldering the next. It’s the kind of drink that catches you off-guard, like hearing Rumours for the first time and realizing Fleetwood Mac wasn’t just singing about heartbreak, they were exorcising it. “Dreams” is tropical, strange, and intoxicating—liquid rebellion in a coupe glass.

6. Espresso MarTinez

1921 Tequila Blanco · 1921 Tequila Cream · Espresso · Coffee Liqueur

Teddy Martinez spins this one like a late-night confession—equal parts danger and desire. The Blanco hits first, sharp and alive, then the 1921 Tequiala Cream slides in, soft as velvet and twice as sinful. “Espresso Martinez” isn’t just an espresso martini—it’s the moment the lights dim, the music slows, and sleep feels optional.

Fall at its best isn’t cozy—it’s alive.

It’s the chill in the air that makes every sip hit harder, every flavor feel earned. These 1921 creations aren’t just cocktails; they’re postcards from places you haven’t been yet, written in smoke, citrus, and agave.

About 1921 Tequila

1921 Tequila isn’t just another pretty bottle on the back bar. It’s a tequila with roots deep in Mexican soil and a name that tips its hat to the end of the revolution. From the crisp bite of the Blanco to the rich, slow-drinking Añejo and the dangerously smooth Tequila Cream, every pour is a lesson in balance—sweet, earthy, and unapologetically bold. The folks at Casa 1921 don’t make tequila for the masses. They make it for people who give a damn. And when they team up with spots like The Wolves DTLA? That’s when things get interesting.
