"jose cuervo" news and stories

Coming of drinking age during the Bartles & Jaymes wine cooler craze, I don't usually associate elegance with a pre-mixed drink from a bottle. But the last decade has changed some of that, with the movement toward all-natural flavors with no artificial coloring.

Back when I first learned to mix drinks, I would still occasionally grab a bottle of Jose Cuervo margarita mix for a camping trip. This never compared to the freshness of using squeezed limes, but sometimes the convenience of a bottled margarita was just too tempting when you are feeling rushed or just don't want to be bogged own with several different bottles and the accoutrements for making the drinks from scratch. This was back in the day when I didn't pay attention to whether or not the mix had high fructose corn syrup or FD&C Yellow #5. Now with companies like Stirrings, you can grab an all-natural mix and add tequila and feel pretty good about yourself.

Charbay released all-natural aperitifs that are meant to just be poured and drank in flavors of pomegranate and green tea. Like everything this company does, the aperitifs taste fresh and are made with a lot of attention to detail.

Margaritas taste great, but can be a hassle to make. You really either need a blender or a cocktail shaker to mix one up and it's not in their nature to be portable, since you also need bottles of both tequila and margarita mix, if not triple sec and a lime to go with them. Jose Cuervo now makes having a margarita as easy as having a beer with their Margarita minis. The 9.95% alcohol by volume drinks come in 50 mL square, glass bottles packed in groups of four. They are lime flavored, made with Cuervo Gold tequila and pack a punch from both. To serve, pour the bottle out into an ice-filled glass or simply chill the individual bottles. They're up to Cuervo's usual standards - meaning that they taste great. Don't forget to share!
