But it's still a quality outing that really makes an excellent impression. As if this cocktail had been left out for an hour or so in an outdoors setting. Despite my positive notes there is still just a trace of artificiality. All of the flavors are in good balance and complement each other well. The agave actually interacts with the lime flavor creating a nice, gentle dance of complexity that any well-crafted cocktail should create. I would actually expect to get a drink like this at a decent, mid to high level restaurant with a competent, knowledgeable bartender. This also sits at 12.5% and it just stands out so much from the other two. After the wonderful burst of agave you pick up on some fairly fresh smelling lime and hints of triple sec and orange. 3.5/10Ĭutwater Lime Margarita: Wow! This actually smells like real, actual Tequila and it isn't afraid to proudly showcase its agave origins. If this is the Standard then it's been set at a particularly low bar. If offered one, I'd have it at a kickback but this isn't something I'd ever seek out. It's drinkable and didn't make me want to gag. Lime concentrate, Well Tequila and a good amount of industrialized sweet & sour syrup to cover up the imperfections. It tastes like the cheap margaritas you would get at a place like Chili's during rush hour. I couldn't really find any hint of agave which is surprising because despite how cheap it smells this sits at a nice 12.5% alcohol. We're talking Sicilia Lime Concentrate with some dusty, particularly syrupy sweet & sour mix added in. Quite frankly this doesn't smell that great. The generic name doesn't help but I haven't seen them listed for sale anywhere else and big alcohol retailers can afford to source their own exclusive products so I'm pretty sure this is the origin of this outing. I can't find any information about these. The Standard Margarita: I'm pretty confident this is a BevMo! Exclusive outing. Sure it doesn't taste like a fresh margarita made by an experienced bartender but this is something I'd love to have at the beach. At just 5.9% ABV it will get me quickly buzzed but I can rest easy knowing it won't mess me up. This can easily appeal to a great number of people, it goes down smoothly and I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't be a guilty pleasure of mine. It's clear they put a lot of sugar into this drink but it doesn't quite make it cloying. They added a bit of sparkling water to this cocktail as well which is actually a great call to help dilute what could easily have been a sugar overload. The orange liqueur actually does it's job quite nicely complementing the sour notes of the lime concentrate and providing a good balance. It doesn't taste fresh and it's clearly from concentrate yet it has a nice balance and tartness to it without feeling too cheap. You have to really focus to find the agave smell but it is indeed there though sadly it's more of the processed, distiller agave smell than the natural aroma. It smells strongly of festive but fake lime with a strong, orange syrup overtone. It leans heavily into the sugar and strong, artificial fruity flavors while keeping the Tequila profile in the background. I'm on an official search for the best canned margarita RTD out there and this will be a continuing biweekly adventure!Ĭazadores Margarita: This is almost exactly what I was expecting from a big brand outing.
