The Story: Born in the high-desert country of Southwest New Mexico, the team at Little Toad Creek Distillery knows exactly what makes a phenomenal Southwestern staple. Under their Mixed-Up Cocktail Co. label, they set out to free the Margarita from the tyranny of neon-green, sugary syrups and artificial chemical mixers. This Classic Rita is built from scratch with an uncompromised, all-natural recipe. They start with an authentic, premium 100% blue agave spirit, then blend it seamlessly with real, fresh-squeezed lime and lemon juices. Sweetened subtly with organic agave nectar to match the natural profile of the spirit, this canned cocktail honors tradition by letting the pure, bright flavors do all the talking.
Why You'll Love Me: It is a vibrant, incredibly authentic Margarita experience that hits with the unmistakable punch of a high-end, hand-shaken bar cocktail. Pours a beautifully natural, slightly opaque, pale cloud-yellow with an effervescent fizz that immediately lets loose an aroma of bright, zesty lime peel and earthy blue agave. Boasting a heavy-hitting 10.0% ABV, it provides a perfectly balanced, spirit-forward backbone that never feels heavy or syrupy. The real lime juice brings a sharp, electric tartness that cuts right through the smooth, honeyed sweetness of the agave nectar. It finishes clean, crisp, and wonderfully snappy, leaving you with that classic, mouth-watering citrus bite that practically begs for another sip.
