    A while back, someone brought one of those Cutwater margaritas by my place. I was making cocktails for my friends, so I thought this was an easy way for me to have a snort while I was mixing things up for everyone else. Definitely did not understand at the time that this thing was a full 12 oz can of margarita, basically making it a triple! (for how I make it) I'd say the quality of the drinks I was making didn't suffer, but really, I'm not sure... I was also pleasantly surprised by its quality, but obviously, I prefer my freshly made version.

      Novelty 'health food' is expensive. Eating healthy can be cheap as hell. Compare a boiled egg, a modest serving of plain Greek yogurt with a spoon full of granola, some veggies, and a bit of uncured meat to the $2/serving (before milk) fake out cereal (seriously, low cal sweeteners in a cereal?). You're getting more nutrition for less money, the difference is you're doing more work than pouring milk over a bowl of cereal.

    I like your point about how a cocktail like a Marg should feature the spirit. I always feel like in a lot of ways that can be the difference between getting a cocktail at a bar and fixing one at home/having a friend make one for you at a party. Depending on the bar you go to, you arent nessarilly going to get a "good cocktail" but you will get one that tastes good and is imminently drinkable.

  • @bradsimpson8724
    @bradsimpson8724 2 года назад +5

    Canning margaritas would be tricky. With the recent cocktail renniassance, there are a fair few people familiar with the traditional mixed drink. But still, for every one of us, there are a hundred that still think of a neon green syrupy concoction dispensed from a slushie machine, and those two drinks are very hard to reconcile.
    Regardless, half-cut Greg cosplaying as Rich Texan and yelling at the camera is always a treat.
    Edit: never mind, I see you recognized the same potential problem.

    Just for reference 5% and 7% abv are pretty common for canned beer. Don't know if that's were these companies are aiming for but yeah. Also, I'm a bit of a beer guy, other than the 12% I wouldn't be afraid of quickly getting drunk on these. Obviously the 50 proof one is just an actual strait up margarita and that one would kick my butt.

    No question, 12 oz of a 15% canned cocktail is strong, but not so much in comparison to the standard. Assuming the tequila and curacao are 80 proof, Greg's recipe is 1.2 oz of ethanol. If the final drink is 5 to 8 oz (4 oz liquid plus ice melt), then the proof of the standard margarita is 15-24%. Put another way, assuming each margarita is 6 oz, the homemade version is 20% ABV which beats that of the can.
    Don't take my word for it, though - try it at home. Repeatedly! First one to do so as Greg did with handwritten notes that are legible wins!
