I'm not much of a tequila drinker….but I do occasionally love a great margarita AND I really adore these artistic bottles from the 1800 Tequila company. Style meets spirits!

It's the company's second annual collection of limited-edition Essential Artists bottles. The series celebrates a dynamic range of original artwork on a unique and unexpected medium–bottles of 100% Agave Silver Tequila! The winners were selected from over 15,00 online submissions.

The 12 winning bottles are designed by up-and-coming artists from New York to Hawaii— Ian McGillivary (Brooklyn, NY), Danielle Salinas (Bloomfield, NJ) and Mark Sweeney (San Francisco, CA) just to name a few. In addition, one "celebrity artist" is chosen, which is Shepard Fairey this year. You know him….the guy who created the now iconic "Hope" poster for Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.

Here are the winning designs (Don't you think these would bring some exciting style to your bar?):
