What we’re drinking: Various releases from Tequila Partida Where they’re from: Named in honor of third-generation agave farmer Enrique Partida, this namesake brand is an additive-free, estate-grown tequila from The Lucas Bols Company. Why we’re drinking these: Partida has touted itself as “the world’s highest rated tequila,” and while I can’t vouch for that claim, the brand has racked up a ton of honors, including a win for the brand’s reposado.
