Ysidro makes a sophisticated canned spritz made with super premium sake and real, organic grapefruit & sea salt.

In the spring of 2020, co-founder Monica Epstein attended a virtual wine tasting hosted by friend and boutique wine importer Alex Dessouky. It was during the height of the lockdowns, when all of our gatherings were online and we would have given anything just to share a drink with friends. Alex brought people together over pure, soulful wines, sharing his passion and expertise with his friends and community. That night after the tasting, Monica had a (literal) dream that she worked with Alex and her husband, Seth, to make a special drink. A tonic that celebrated their newfound rhythm of slow living. By chance, Monica and Seth ran into Alex at Miramar beach the next morning. The stars aligned, and with a dream and a chance encounter, Ysidro was born. Founded in Montecito, Ysidro is a sophisticated canned spritz made with super premium sake and real, organic grapefruit & sea salt. Crisp and refreshing, Ysidro is an everyday and any occasion drink, light enough to sip at your lunch break yet complex enough to pair with a delicious dinner. Sulfite free, vegan, gluten free, and non-GMO, we designed a more mindful drink experience, to match the care and intention with which we approach every product we consume.
