The Store-Bought Margarita Mix That Just Doesn't Mix Well With Tequila - Tasting Table
Briefly

Margaritas are a simple yet classic cocktail, and while homemade versions can be enjoyable, store-bought mixes can save time for larger gatherings. We sampled various margarita mixes based on flavor profile, sweetness, and how well each pairs with tequila. Stirrings Simple margarita mix was rated poorly due to its muted flavor, described as tasting like watered-down limeade, and it did not hold up to the robust profile of blanco tequila, preferred for margaritas. Blanco tequila is recommended for its simplicity and affordability, making it a great choice for cocktail beginners.
Stirrings Simple margarita mix lacks the complexity and flavor needed to pair well with blanco tequila; it tastes more like watered-down limeade than a balanced cocktail.
