Margarita by Skinny Brands

Image
I love a margarita and was really hopeful when I looked at the ingredients of this drink, it had actual Cointreau and real lime juice, which was very promising.  On the nose you get a delicious lime zest hit, which got me excited as often you don't get real lime in these beverages (it doesn't stay fresh sadly). The taste is proper lime, with a refreshing sourness. Strangely enough it's a still drink, which most of these premixed cans aren't, which makes it feel more grown up. You also get a hint of orange, but sadly not much actual tequila.  This was going pretty good until the aftertaste, which is an incredible punch of artificial sweetener. It's overpowering and lingers on the tongue. I suppose this is what makes it skinny, but it's also what takes a pretty good drink and makes it average. Score: 3/5 Price: £
