Quick Facts: ABV: 9.95%  |  Origin: Jalisco, Mexico  |  Style: Ready-to-Drink Margarita  |  Distillery: La Rojeña

Production & Heritage

The tequila at the heart of this blend comes from La Rojeña, the oldest active distillery in Latin America, located in the town of Tequila in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. Jose Cuervo has been producing tequila at this site for generations, and the Authentic Margarita line is made exclusively with Cuervo tequila — no substitute spirits. The Pink Lemonade expression is a pre-mixed cocktail that combines that tequila base with Triple Sec and pink lemonade flavoring, designed to be served straight from the bottle over ice without any additional mixing required.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe strawberry and raspberry notes lead, followed by a citrus lift of lemon zest and a faint orange peel sweetness. The tequila presence is subtle on the nose, mostly playing a supporting role beneath the fruit.

Taste: The entry is bright and berry-driven, with strawberry and raspberry flavors dominating the front of the palate. At mid-palate, sweet lemon peel and orange notes from the Triple Sec emerge, adding a tangy complexity. The tequila surfaces toward the back, grounding the sweetness with a mild agave warmth.

Finish: Moderately sweet and refreshing, with lingering pink lemonade tartness and a clean tequila exit. The finish is short to medium, making it an easy-drinking, sessionable cocktail.
