Best Balanced Margarita Mix<\/h2>\r\n

Agalima Margarita Mix<\/h3>\r\nWhen you think of a margarita, you think of a few basic flavors: citrus, sweet, salt and tequila.\u00a0Agalima Margarita Mix<\/strong><\/a> provides you with the first three; all you need to bring is tequila.\r\n\r\nThis golden-hued organic margarita mix is made with lime and agave nectar for that tart and sweet combo we all love in a margarita. But Agalima is more than just tart and sweet; this bottled mixer gets the balance of the two just right. According to our Test Kitchen's Mark Neufang<\/a>, \"There's a nice balance of sweet and citrus here and it plays so well with the tequila.\"\r\n\r\nAgalima takes balance to the next level by including a touch of salt. You don't even need to salt the rim of your margarita glass<\/a>.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Total Wine\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.totalwine.com\/accessories-more\/mixers-water-soda\/cocktail-mixes\/margarita\/agalima-margarita-mix\/p\/222158233?\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n\r\n

Best Key Lime Margarita Mix<\/h2>\r\n

Stirrings Simple Margarita Mix<\/h3>\r\nIf you look forward to Key lime<\/a> season every year, you'll want a margarita made with\u00a0Stirrings Simple Margarita Mix<\/strong><\/a>.\r\n\r\nThis mix uses only Key lime<\/a> juice which imparts a sweet, smooth flavor rather than the acidic and tart taste of traditional Persian limes. Thanks to these limes, the Stirrings mix even has some subtle floral notes which you can get from these limes as well as the paler, yellow color.\r\n\r\nStirrings margarita mix is also infused with triple sec flavor which means when it's time to mix, you only need to grab a bottle of tequila. All you have to do to enjoy a drink with this mix is rim a glass with salt and splash a bit of tequila inside.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Total Wine\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.totalwine.com\/accessories-more\/mixers-water-soda\/cocktail-mixes\/margarita\/stirrings-margarita-mixers\/p\/108161233?s=1904&igrules=true\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n\r\n

Best Sweet Margarita Mix<\/h2>\r\n

Tres Agaves Organic Margarita Mix<\/h3>\r\nPrefer a sweeter marg with that salted rim? Try\u00a0Tres Agaves Organic Margarita Mix<\/strong><\/a>.\r\n\r\nWhile on the sweeter side, this mixer isn't boring and sugary. Instead, Tres Agaves is sweetened with\u2014you guessed it\u2014organic agave nectar<\/a>. This marg mix has a pleasant, mellow sweetness about it. In fact, Josh Rink<\/a> in the Test Kitchen compares it to honey.\r\n\r\nPaired with tart lime, this bottled beverage works well when shaken up with your favorite tequila. This is precisely the drink you want in hand when relaxing on your patio. Per Mark, \"this is a refreshing one to have over ice on a hot summer day.\"\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on World Market\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.worldmarket.com\/product\/tres-agaves-margarita-mix.do?sortby=ourPicks&from=fn\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n\r\n

Best Big-Batch Margarita Mix<\/h2>\r\n

Zing Zang Margarita Mix<\/h3>\r\nWhen browsing the mixers section at the grocery store, you'll find that most margarita mixes come in one-liter bottles. If you need to make a bigger batch and don't want to blow your budget, snag a bottle or two of\u00a0Zing Zang Margarita Mix<\/strong><\/a>. This brand comes in 1.75-liter bottles and costs about the same as its smaller cousins.\r\n\r\nZing Zing's mix was subtler than some options but that doesn't mean it lacked flavor. Sipping on this mixer, our team picked up more than just hints of lime. In fact, Zing Zang's margarita mix is formulated with lime, Key lime\u00a0and<\/em> grapefruit juice for more complexity.\r\n\r\nAccording to Sarah Fischer<\/a> in the Test Kitchen, \"This one balances really well with tequila\u2014it's easy to sip on.\" And isn't that exactly what you want when serving up margs at a party?\r\n\r\nLooking for Bloody Mary mix<\/a>?

How We Tested Margarita Mixes<\/h2>\r\nTo find the best margarita mix, our Test Kitchen gathered nine popular brands and put them head-to-head in a blind tasting\u2014just like with all our other taste tests<\/a>.\r\n\r\nOur testers sampled each of these mixes without tequila at first to get a good grasp of the mixes' true flavors. Don't worry\u2014they tested them with tequila<\/a> as well to see how the flavors mingled.\r\n
