Introduced last year and perfect for Cinco de Mayo is Jose Cuervo’s Golden Margarita, a premium ready to serve margarita. Made from Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila, and Grand Marnier cognac-orange liqueur and lime juice, this 25 proof liqueur is surprisingly good for a ready to serve.

Playboy’s James Oliver Curry writes “The Grand Marnier’s sweet orange flavors overwhelm the lime, making this very drinkable indeed”.

The kind folks at Cuervo set us a few drinks to try using Golden Margarita, but no bottle? Hmmm… I guess for now we will take Playboy’s assessment. Here’s the drinks.


Sunset Sangria

2 cups Jose Cuervo Golden Margarita
2 cups dry Red Wine
1 lemon, sliced
1 lime, sliced
1 orange, sliced
1 cup seedless grapes, sliced

Place all ingredients into the pitcher, mix and refrigerate for 1-2 hours
Garnish with orange slices and serve on the rocks
