Per usual, I run in to my local liquor store to grab my favorite Sauvignon Blanc. And when I say "run", I mean it because it's tough to be in this record triple-digit heat for longer than a couple minutes without become drenched in sweat. So as I walk to the designated aisle, one of the liquor brand ambassadors stops me to see if I want to try Blake Lively's new sparkling cocktail beverages. Normally I lift my hand in passing as my "nope, I'm good. Thanks!" instinct kicks in, but something had me stop and try one of the three variations. My choice just happened to be the Sparkling Tequila option, which is surprising since I am not a tequila drinker unless it's in a margarita, but I was instantly sold!
Not only is this sparkling cocktail yummy, but it's incredibly good for you! It's main selling point is it's made with only three basic ingredients: sparkling water, real juice, and phenomenal tequila. Nothing artificial was harmed in the process. But in the spirit of transparency, they do have a high-sugar content.
This option has a citrusy, oak flavor to ignite your tastebuds, and at 4.5% ABV, one can is enough to get you all warm and fuzzy!
