The difference is that it’s much lower in alcohol than crafting your own cocktail. Made with natural ingredients, this is a ready-to-drink, easy alternative to mixing your own cocktails at home. Made with 100% Blue Agave tequila blanco from Cazadores as well as agave syrup for sweetness, this is a gluten-free, canned version of the popular paloma cocktail. It’s very refreshing, flavorful, and crushable.įrom my notes: “What could be better on a hot day?” Part 2: The Ranking The palate follows suit with notes of herbal, vegetal sweet agave, lime peels, and more grapefruit. I noticed inviting aromas of lime zest, grapefruit pulp, and even some lemon. There is a lot of fruit on this drink’s nose. Not sugary and sweet like some RTDS and that’s a good thing, but the tequila is still rather muted and lost in the salt and lime flavors. Sipping it revealed more tart, slightly salty lime, and some other citrus flavors. Lime zest and a hint of agave sweetness are prevalent on the nose. This RTD smells like a classic margarita so I’m going to assume that’s what it is and that’s definitely a good sign. Even with that, it’s fresh, filled with lime juice, and other citrus flavors, and has a nice kick of vegetal tequila. One sip only adds to that feeling as this is definitely boozier than most. This definitely doesn’t smell like a pre-made, canned cocktail. There are notable aromas of fresh lime juice, sweet oranges, and just a hint of herbal, vegetal tequila. There’s also a slight smoky quality that adds another dimension to this RTD.Īll in all, a well-rounded, easy-to-drink pre-made cocktail. The palate is loaded with tart lime, lemon, grapefruit, and a slight tequila flavor. slight vegetal notes and an herbal quality dominate the nose.

Drinking it revealed ripe orange, key lime, sweet, vegetal agave, warming tequila, and a slightly tart, salinity that brings everything together nicely. The nose is classic margarita with bold aromas of vegetal sweet tequila, lime zest, tangerine pulp, and a light, herbal, earthy aroma. Sipping it only added to the lemon/lime flavor with maybe some sugary sweetness and a very faint tequila taste.įrom my notes: “Overly sweet and too one-dimensional for my liking.” Taste 4 Christopher Osburn

It smells like I just cracked open a can of lemon/line soda. This doesn’t smell like a tequila cocktail even a little bit. Keep scrolling to see all the picks and learn how everything turned out. And, since we assume you’d prefer to drink different kinds of cocktails, we selected canned ranch waters, margaritas, and palomas.

To make your late spring and summer better, we decided to blindly taste and rank eight of the best tequila-based RTDs. To add to that, while many are well-made, flavorful, and balanced, others are syrupy sweet, generic-tasting, and downright awful. The only problem is with these canned cocktails growing so popular in recent years, there are too many to choose from. These pre-mixed, canned cocktails simply need to be cracked open, poured over ice (or sipped straight out of the can or bottle), and enjoyed. But now that it’s beginning to look (and feel) a lot like summer from Bar Harbor to Beverly Hills, who has the time? That’s where RTDs (also known as ready-to-drink cocktails) come in. Sure, you can grab a nice bottle of tequila, and a few mixers, and spend an afternoon whipping up margaritas, palomas, and the like.
