Jose Cuervo Golden Margarita

Type: Margarita (Pre-Mixed)
Year: N/A
Price: 18.99
Rating: 4 - Would definitely buy again
Where Bought: Brook Falls Discount Wine & Spirits on Lisbon
Comments: Ok, I realize we have strayed from our usual "wine" list, but in this case we thought it was worth the effort and change. This is a pre-mixed Margarita, nothing to add, just chill, pour and enjoy on those hot summer days! We started with the smaller bottle, but it was more economical to just buy the larger bottle. It lasted longer and reduced the number of trips to the store. Generally, I've tasted other pre-mixes and they either required you to add something to it (like the liquor) or just tasted bad. This one is the best of both worlds. Like I said, just chill, pour and enjoy! Who could ask for more?
