Sauza offers remarkably fresh pre-mixed \u00a0margaritas blended from silver tequila, triple sec and carbonation. Keep a few bottles chilled and you are always ready to host drop-in guests.<\/p>\n<p>I taste-tested Original Lime Sauza, sent by the company with an invitation to give it a try, \u00a0with my hosts Howard Reign and his husband Rich Swarmer. Instead of traditional margarita glasses, Howard came up with a hip twist, serving our cocktails in martini glasses garnished with a lime wheel, hold the salt.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/smithreports.com\/eatshopgo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_0431-2-e1434927525116.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1035\" alt=\"IMG_0431-2\" src=\"http:\/\/smithreports.com\/eatshopgo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_0431-2-e1434927525116-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smithreports.com\/eatshopgo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_0431-2-e1434927525116-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/smithreports.com\/eatshopgo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_0431-2-e1434927525116-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smithreports.com\/eatshopgo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_0431-2-e1434927525116.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Sauza had been chilling in the fridge while we toured. We enjoyed our first sips, but it lacked the frosty nip we have come to expect from a margarita. Howard came up with the ideal solution: adding crushed ice. The result: the immediate gratification of a tasty margarita with no heavy lifting.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of ways to experiment with this ready-to-go relaxer, such as adding fresh strawberries or muddled herbs from the garden.\u00a0Available in Original Lime, Wild Berry, Mango Peach, and Watermelon, Sauza comes in a 750ML bottle for a suggested retail price of $12.99.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perusing gardens is thirsty work.
