PINK MARGARITA BOTTLE CRACK

Some makers specifically concoct their beverages so you can crack them open and go, while others ask for you to pour them over ice. This will vary from producer to producer. That said, avoid storing it in a light-filled spot-the UV rays can damage the flavors.Ĭan you drink out of the container, or do you have to add something to it? If you purchased this commercially, your ready-to-drink Margarita should be shelf-stable, meaning you can keep it on a shelf until it's ready to drink. How do you properly store ready-to-drink Margaritas? For the record, tequila needs to be from a specific region to be called a tequila, so if it has that title, you know it did originate in Mexico. Some producers rely on neutral grain spirits while others work with tequila distilleries, but unless otherwise disclosed, all of these products have real tequila. Your body will thank you the next day.įAQs Do ready-to-drink Margaritas have real tequila added? Look for options that lean on agave or cane sugar to sweeten, rather than fake sweeteners. But the best options balance out the sugar with natural flavors. Many cocktail fans sway away from canned options as they can be cloyingly sweet. Just how tipsy are you looking to get at the beach? The ABV of ready-to-drink Margaritas can vary wildly, from a mere 4 percent to a knee-buckling 30 percent. Citric acid can help this-it’s a compound found in lemons that can be added to cocktails to retain that freshness of citrus for far longer. Citrus goes badly or tastes tinny if not stored correctly. If your canned cocktail doesn’t taste fresh, citrus likely is to blame. What to Look for in a Ready-To-Drink Margarita Citrus If you prefer to build out the drink yourself, Hella Cocktail Co’s ( view at Amazon) offerings pack in all the ingredients with none of the tequila, so you can use your favorite bottle (or sub out a non-alcoholic spirit). Crafthouse Cocktails ( view at Drizly) and Cutwater Spirits (view at Total Wine) both do an excellent job of mimicking bartender-concocted flavors desired in a Margarita and packaging them into an easy-to-drink canned format.
