Low proof and very drinkable this is a great drink for when you just want something tasty to finish off the evening but still get up in the morning to go to work.

Adding any number of fruits, switching out the liquors and lead to an endless variety. Some of our favorites, the classic Agave Margarita, the fall taste of the Italian Margarita or the dramatic kick of the Top Shelf Margarita are very drinkable.
