San Diego-based SouthNorte has launched a line of ready-to-drink cocktails in time for summer season, bringing its penchant for Baja-inspired flavors to the craft. We tasted the entire lineup, and located them persistently clear, gentle, and refreshing, if notably quick on tequila taste.
SouthNorte Margarita – A basic mix of blanco tequila, triple sec, and lime, this calmly effervescent ready-to-drink cocktail delivers a clear, basic margarita profile that’s so delicate you may miss till you’re in your third one. Within the vast world of RTD margaritas, this one is so crisp and refreshing that it’s straightforward to get carried away. The lime profile is delicate fairly than sharp, and the fizz is so gentle it fades within the glass. Seize this one for those who like your margaritas light and clear. 10% abv. B / $14 per four-pack of cans
SouthNorte Paloma – Presenting clear, contemporary grapefruit taste, with a lightweight fizz, SouthNorte’s canned Paloma cocktail is a pleasant, approachable drink that’s true to the type of what a Paloma ought to be, a minimum of in taste if not in colour. Nearly clear in colour, this paloma falls on the sweeter aspect, low on tartness and even decrease on tequila taste resulting from its comparatively low alcohol content material. Paloma fanatics may wish to add a shot of blanco on prime and perhaps a splash of pulpy grapefruit juice to embolden the general presentation, however this easy-drinking cocktail is difficult to love straight out of the can. 10% abv. B+ / $14 per four-pack of cans
SouthNorte Matador – Usually a stack of tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice, the matador cocktail is a well-liked various to the tartness of the margarita. SouthNorte’s rendition is a noble rendering of the recipe into canned kind. Mild, not too candy, pineapple taste abounds, with a barely detectable lime spine. Very contemporary in its presentation, the pineapple juice right here avoids the cloying profile too usually present in canned pineapple drinks. However, as with SouthNorte’s different cocktails, you’ll probably miss the tequila taste. 10% abv. B / $14 per four-pack of cans
SouthNorte Mexican Mule – A mix of ginger beer, mint, lime, a contact of jalapeño, and, let’s face it, only a contact of blanco tequila, the SouthNorte Mexican Mule is one other easy, approachable illustration of its conventional recipe. As with SouthNorte’s different cocktails, this one reveals virtually no tequila on the palate, however in any other case presents a properly rounded “mule” expertise, with sturdy ginger beer and sufficient jalapeño to be attention-grabbing. 10% abv. B+ $14 per four-pack of cans
Total, we loved SouthNorte’s contemporary taste profiles and adherence to the spirit of their recipes. We’d like to see slightly extra spirit of tequila within the can, although.
