Production & Heritage

The Mr & Mrs T brand traces back to 1960, when Herb and June Taylor began producing quality cocktail mixers in Los Angeles, California. Now manufactured under the Keurig Dr Pepper portfolio, the Margarita Mix is made with cane sugar and real agave nectar — a combination designed to approximate a made-from-scratch margarita base without artificial sweeteners. That agave component differentiates it from many shelf-stable competitors that rely solely on high-fructose corn syrup or synthetic flavoring.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh citrus leads, with bright lime zest followed by a subtle undertone of sweet orange. A mild sweetness from the agave rounds out the nose without turning cloying.

Taste: The entry is tart and lime-forward, immediately recalling freshly squeezed citrus. At mid-palate, orange notes emerge alongside a smooth, rounded sweetness from the agave nectar and cane sugar. The balance avoids excessive tartness or sugary heaviness — a point frequently noted by consumers who describe it as well-balanced for a grocery-accessible mixer.

Finish: Clean and moderately short, with lingering citrus acidity that keeps the palate refreshed. A faint agave sweetness stays behind, priming the next sip.

How to Drink Mr & Mrs T Margarita Mix

The standard serve calls for combining the mix with your tequila of choice over ice in a salt-rimmed glass — a ratio of roughly two parts mix to one part tequila works as a reliable starting point, adjustable to taste. Beyond the classic margarita, this mixer works well in several cocktail formats:

• Frozen Margarita: Blend with tequila, ice, and a splash of triple sec for a smooth frozen texture where the lime-agave base shines through.
• Margarita Spritzer: Top a short pour of mix and tequila with club soda for a lighter, effervescent warm-weather drink.
• Beergarita (Beer-Rita): Combine with a light Mexican lager and a shot of tequila — the mix's sweetness offsets the beer's dryness for a refreshing hybrid.

Best For

• Hosting large gatherings where batch cocktails simplify service
• Backyard barbecues and Cinco de Mayo celebrations
• Stocking a home bar with a reliable, shelf-stable margarita base
• Tailgating or outdoor events where fresh-squeezing citrus is impractical
