Once I’ve acquired a hankering for a margarita, the Netherlands isn’t the primary nation that pops into my thoughts, so forgive me if I used to be a bit of skeptical when a bottle of Dutch-produced Coppa Cocktails Margarita arrived at my door. Packaged in a trendy bottle wrapped in botanical imagery, this ready-to-drink margarita is eye-catching, to make certain, and would make an awesome present should you’re heading to a celebration. However the proof is within the tasting, so I wasted little time in cracking the cap and pouring a few cocktails.
Unadulterated from the bottle, the Coppa Margarita is among the finest examples of the premixed margarita I’ve tasted – and I simply tasted a couple of dozen of them in a roundup for Nationwide Margarita Day final month. A traditional mix of lime juice, orange liqueur, and blanco tequila, this margarita strikes a near-perfect steadiness of tartness and only a contact of sweetness, and reveals simply sufficient tequila presence to be satisfying. Whereas most ready-to-drink cocktails ship me rummaging by the bar or fridge seeking amendments, this one is nearly excellent by itself. (Although I’ll all the time garnish with a lime, as a result of it’s solely proper.)
