Fresh lime and sweet orange liqueur perfectly balance sour and sweet citrus flavors, while complementing the earthiness of agave-based tequila or mezcal. Margarita mixes are so abundant, but why? Of all of the popular cocktails today, the Margarita is one of the easiest, with just three simple ingredients! A classic Margarita is made with: tequila (or mezcal), freshly squeezed lime juice, and triple sec (orange liqueur). But was it really tequila’s fault? Maybe it was poor judgment mixed with that green mystery mix. Sadly, the dark age college drinking years have sworn many a would-be agave cocktail lover off of tequila for life. If you’re like most folks, your first experience with a Margarita might have been in the form of a bucket of green mix that you fill with Jose Cuervo and freeze.

The lingering taste made it seem more like I had just eaten a whole lime, pith, zest and all. When I initially took my first sip I enjoyed it, but the instant I swallowed I realized there was a very acidic aftertaste that was not good. After mixing and pouring into a glass I was excited to taste it.Īfter the first taste of the drink, my excitement level dropped dramatically. When I flipped the bottle around to look at the ingredients I was pleasantly surprised that I could pronounce each one, and there were only four ingredients: water, organic agave nectar, organic lime concentrate, and ascorbic acid. The label on the bottle is a little harder to read since the writing is in a few different colors and there's a lot of stuff going on from banners across the label to a picture of a few limes. The Tres Agaves margarita mix was another yellow-tinged mix that made it into my virtual shopping cart and was delivered to my house. And before everyone gets up in arms, this person never sends food back just to be "that guy." The lingering artificial taste was unpleasant, so I had to clear my palette with some chips before moving on to the next margarita mix. A family member who was tasting with me said if they got this in a restaurant they would send it back. The drink was herbaceous, which is never a word I want to use when describing my perfect lime margarita.
Let's just say one sip of this was enough. After shaking the margarita mix up with the tequila I poured it into a small rocks glass and noticed the drink seemed a bit cloudy, but the real test would come with the taste. I loved the label on the bottle because it was clear what I would be trying without a lot of extra pictures or fonts that are distracting most of the time. It was more of a yellow color than the traditional green, which was a little strange but not totally off-putting to start with. The look of this one wasn't horrible when it was in the bottle.
