Behind the Label: What to Look for in a Quality Margarita Mix

Behind the Label: What to Look for in a Quality Margarita Mix

A good margarita mix should taste like you sliced the limes yourself—but without needing to spend the time or even have fresh limes on hand. Too often, store-bought mixes are too sweet, too artificial tasting, and too one-dimensional. Demitri’s gourmet Margarita Mixes prove that you can have the best of both worlds: A marg that’s easy to make and delicious to drink. We’ll walk through why Demitri’s mixes are the ideal complement to ceviche, fish tacos, and so much more.

It’s all in the ingredients.

Demitri’s has both an Organic Margarita Mix and a 38 Calorie Margarita Mix. The secret to both? Real ingredients and nothing weird added. Both options are made without preservatives, gluten, or high-fructose corn syrup. The Organic mix is organic lime juice with the perfect amount of organic cane sugar to balance out the acid—not overpower it. The 38 Calorie mix combines lime juice, cane sugar, and stevia extract for the same perfect level of sweetness, just a little lighter. Our ingredient list is as simple as it gets, but the taste is as complex as the margs from your favorite Tex-Mex spot.

But if our mixes are so simple, why not just nix the mix and do it yourself? You could, but if you’re hosting Taco Tuesday, you’ll need a lot of limes. For reference, one lime has about an ounce of juice in it, which means you need a lime for every marg… and try finding enough ripe limes in the dead of winter. Not to mention how time-consuming it is to squeeze all of ‘em! (Bottled lime juice should be reserved for the most desperate of situations. Your margarita deserves better. Your worst enemy’s margarita deserves better.) 

Demitri’s is meant for parties, happy hours, book clubs, and any time you want to whip up a pitcher in a flash. It’s the ideal base for getting creative with margarita add-ins, like jalapeños, blood orange slices, or pomegranate juice.
