What is a good Margarita? It depends on who you ask.
If you ask me, I would say that it should be crispy and bright, should be made from freshly pressed limes and a hint of sweetness. I want to feel that the tequila is there, but I don’t want it to be the outstanding taste. It should be shaken and served over ice in a glass that is shouted with salt.
However, this type of Margarita requires a bit of work, and I am not always ready to be a domestic barkeeper. Sometimes I want a cold drink on the veranda on the right Now.
Since I tried Trader Joes Mix, I knew that it would be a worthy candidate against my homemade Margarita. I made one of everyone to find out which one is best, and there is only one that I will drink all summer.

Margarita Mix by Trader Joe against homemade Margaritas
The best mixed drinks start with high -quality spirits. Your Margarita can ruin with bad tequila. I used Casamigos for this test. It is a light and refreshing tequila that is also too inexpensive.
I whipped a lot of margaritas with the mix of traders Joe and then with freshly squeezed lime juice, a little fresh orange juice and some agave for sweetness.
I served both mixtures over ice in a salt juice glass with a slice of lime. I gave my husband one of everyone, then I packed mine and we brought them to our deck to sip.

My winner: homemade Margarita
Yes, my homemade Margarita won this taste test. In my opinion, after the alcohol balance, everything revolves around the fresh lime juice.
While I really like traders Joes Margarita Mix, which is also biological, it cannot compete with freshly squeezed lime juice. Drinks with fresh lime juice are brighter and feel more refreshing than the prefabricated stuff.
Apart from that, when I serve guests, bet them, I bring out traders Joes Margarita Mix. In order to remove the sweetness and give some liveliness, I add freshly pressed lime juice to the mixture before shaking or stirring. When I make a pitcher, I will throw in a few sliced lime so that he is like it.
I would also like to use the Margarita mix for the summer cocktail of this dealer Joe, which is made from whiskey.
Conclusion, homemade margaritas with fresh lime juice will always be my (and my husband’s favorite)!
