Margarita lovers in search of a ready-to-drink choice that’s USDA natural, non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, and kosher will discover a worthy candidate in Drake’s Natural Boxtails Good Margarita. Eschewing all issues synthetic, Drake’s Natural bins up this ready-made marg with a mix of Drake’s Natural Tequila, triple sec, and contemporary citrus juice.
Coming in at a boozier-than-usual 12% abv — relative to the 6-8% vary for a lot of RTD margs we’ve sampled — Drake’s hits the nostril with the stable spine of its natural tequila. It’s comparatively dry, by which I imply none-too-sweet, and compares properly to many skinny margaritas in the marketplace. In a class dominated by fluorescent inexperienced jugs, Drake’s presents a really pale, virtually clear look within the glass, and lets its pure fruit juices deal with the flavoring their very own manner.
For those who like your margaritas spare and tequila-forward, this au pure cocktail is properly value a sip. Opinions on what makes for a “excellent” margarita fluctuate broadly, and Drake’s has clearly made its case in naming this one. For my style, its nostril delivered a little bit of a solventy acetone aroma on elevating the glass, however that rapidly subsided and gave technique to extra nice grassy, natural notes that regularly enhanced the pure sweetness of the citrus fruits, so this one grew on me sip after sip. Nonetheless, the pretty spartan profile left me eager for a squeeze of contemporary lime, a drop of agave nectar, and a pinch of salt to stability issues out.
12% abv.
