Earth Day, Every Day: Why We Made the Switch to Agave Straws

At Local Cantina, we’re always looking for ways to do things a little better without taking away from what you love about being here. Fresh margaritas, great tacos, and a vibe that feels just right. That includes the small details too.

Like your straw.

Wait… our straws are made from what?

Agave.

Yep, the same plant that gives us tequila is now part of your sipping experience. We use Greenprint agave straws, a more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional plastic straws.

They’re sturdy, versatile, and built to handle everything from margaritas to mocktails without breaking down or getting soggy. Hot drink, cold drink, no problem. One straw, no wasteful extras.

Why we made the switch

Single-use plastics add up quickly, especially in restaurants. Swapping to agave-based straws is a small change on our end that helps reduce that impact in a meaningful way.

We’re not here to overcomplicate it. It’s just a smarter option that still gets the job done.

Not just for Earth Day

Earth Day is a great reminder, but this isn’t a one-day thing for us. It’s an everyday choice.

Because at the end of the day, we want you to feel just as good about how you’re sipping as what you’re sipping.

And honestly…

Earth is the only planet with tequila. We’ve got to take care of it.
