Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of heritage, culture and craftsmanship—and few brands embody that spirit quite like Inspiro Tequila.
Founded by Chicago-based entrepreneur Mara Smith, Inspiro is a proudly women-owned tequila brand redefining the space with a focus on clean ingredients, thoughtful production and a modern perspective. After a successful career as an attorney and corporate strategist, Smith set out to create a tequila that aligned with her lifestyle—one that was additive-free, smooth, and designed to be sipped or mixed without compromise.
Produced in Mexico using traditional methods and 100% Blue Weber agave, Inspiro is crafted in collaboration with master distiller Ana Maria Romero Mena—one of the most respected female figures in the tequila industry. Her expertise brings depth, balance and elegance to every expression, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to quality and authenticity.
For those looking to elevate their Cinco de Mayo celebrations, Inspiro offers a fresh, vibrant cocktail that’s as visually striking as it is refreshing:
