We’ve laid out simple steps to create thoughtful, high-quality gift and experience for this Valentine’s Day using our premium tequila reposado.

Create your own experiential celebration boxes! Something for the cocktail fanatics, the straight sippers, those who celebrate their every day, and tequila reposado lovers. Follow these simple steps:

1. Describe Your Loved One:

Who are you gifting to? Partner, friend, or family? When it comes to enjoying a clean spirit, how do they enjoy it? Select the profile that is most fitting:

The Straight Sipper:

The maturest of pallets. Enjoys a nightcap on a cool evening and an early morning stroll. “The Straight Sipper” has an appreciation for premium spirits, artisanal craft, and truly experiencing all the flavours their beverage offers. Nothing extra, just give them the good stuff. They love trying new pairings to go along with their favourite spirits.

Crazy for Cocktails:

The life of the party! “Crazy for cocktails” loves fruity, fun flavours, and they love premium, fresh ingredients – Be gone artificial flavours! They’re creative, and they love new experiences. Bring on anything fresh and delicious!

2. Gather the Goodies

Match your loved one’s profile with the DIY box below, then gather the listed ingredients!

Surprises for the Straight Sipper

 What you’ll need:

• Bottle of cada día tequila reposado:

An artisanal Mexican tequila reposado born out of Canadian Influence. We honour tradition and embrace Mexican culture to bring an unmistakably authentic experience. You’ll surely be able to impress “The Straight Sipper” with this premium spirit that has been aged for approximately 8 months in second use, charred, American Oak Whiskey barrels.

The flavour profile includes cooked agave, caramel, oak, citrus, pepper.

• King Cube Ice Tray

King ice cubes help prevent a loss of flavour. Your loved one will be able to truly experience the depth and complexity of the premium spirit as large ice cubes melt at a slower rate due to their surface-area-to-volume ratio. There is less water diluted and your drink stays cool for longer. 

• Two Rocks Glasses

Sharing is caring!

• Premium Dark Chocolate

cada día and dark chocolate are a perfect pairing to satisfy and top off the end to a delicious meal. 

The notes of premium reposado are warm and spicy (like cinnamon, vanilla and pepper) which makes it a lovely compliment to the nuttiness of premium dark chocolate. The complexities of both intertwine into a match made in heaven!

We chatted exclusively with Carley Schelck, Partner and CEO of The Urban Element, who shared that a personalized signature drink and an edible gift, “sets the tone for a most delicious celebration ahead!”.

For those who like keeping it simple, try:

cada día margarita: The complexity of the cada día tequila reposado really shines through in our take of this very classic cocktail. The fresh citrus, orange liqueur and pinch of salt make for a perfectly balanced cocktail.

Everyday Dream:  The citrus flavours paired with cada día tequila reposado make it a crisp, flavourful and refreshing cocktail.

In the Heat of the Night: The complexity is insane, the flavours are out of this world, and the touch of heat isn’t too overpowering and still allows our rich tequila reposado to shine through.

• Gather the fresh ingredients, some for your celebration box and some for your garnish:

We love adding fresh or dried lime, flavoured salts and bitters. These fresh elements will also bring your celebration box to the next level. Carley Shelck, Partner and CEO of The Urban Element, shares: 

“Be inspired by the nature around you. Collecting and using dried or fresh flowers, leaves and foliage (pinecones, pine, greenery) from the natural environment is an easy way to integrate seasonality.”

• Essential bar tools

The recipe you select will require different tools. However, we recommend gifting some essentials like a cocktail shaker, jigger, bar spoon, citrus juicer and/or strainer.

3. Make it Pretty!

Now comes the fun part, putting it all together! Grab a box, bag, or basket then look at adding candles and flowers; Something that’s not only beautiful for the celebration box, but also to be used as part of the ambience!

Carley Schelck, Partner and CEO of The Urban Element, shared exclusively with cada dia that a table setting isn’t complete without candles! She says,

“[The Urban Element] loves the Wax Studio taper candles in tall formats, and if you are looking to set a “natural” tablescape feel, select beeswax. Contrasting sizes of candles also work well on a table, and we like to group candles in threes of varying sizes”.

Carley also shares:

“Fresh flowers are always welcomed for special occasions and we love layering textures and colours. Select a colour palette that reflects your dining partner’s personality and is reflective of the mood. Ask your local florist to create an offering that uses seasonal cuts;  in winter months we lean towards layered soft palettes. Collections of dried florals are a trend still welcomed in 2022 and play into the theme of restful winter months.”

Add a nice bow, a handwritten note, and you’re ready to go!
