Suerte Margarita Cocktail
Suerte Margarita Cocktail is the classic margarita, canned without compromise: Suerte Blanco tequila (100% Blue Weber agave, NOM 1530) with fresh lime juice and sparkling spring water — 7% ABV, 4-pack of 12 oz cans — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
From Suerte, the Boulder-based independent brand with its own dedicated distillery — Tequilera Símbolo (NOM 1530) in the highlands of Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco — using slow-roasted brick-oven agave, 100% tahona crushing, and open-air fermentation. The brand's pitch: "What you have here is fresh lime juice, sparkling spring water and pure 100% agave tequila made the old way. Hey, if you're going to have a margarita, might as well make a perfect one." No malt base, no triple sec — Gold at the 2024 SIP Awards.
Tasting notes: fresh-cut lime over warm agave on the nose; tangy lime juice up front on the palate, mellowed by earthy-peppery blanco tequila and fine spring-water carbonation; a citrus-bright, dry finish — like a classic on-the-rocks margarita minus the triple-sec sweetness.
Why buy this RTD? Because most canned margaritas are malt beverages wearing a costume — this one is actual single-distillery 100% agave tequila (NOM 1530) with real lime juice, from one of the few brands that owns its own distillery.
