We wouldn’t call ourselves margarita snobs but we’re definitely picky when it comes to the cocktail. We usually demand fresh ingredients and tend to add a little bit more tequila than the norm. That’s why we typically cringe at the sight of a ready-to-drink marg, but that wasn’t the case with Sauza Sparkling Margarita.
The first sips of the margarita went down smooth; so smooth we were wishing we had a second bottle. The first thing we noticed was how boozy the margarita tasted, which is always a winner for us. Sauza weighs in at 10% ABV, twice the ABV of a beer for about the same size bottle.
The mango peach flavor hit the spot and was a delicious balance of sweet and salty (from the silver tequila). The sparkling effect was subtle and kept the margarita easy drinking. With a little ice, we could knock these back all day.
Needless to say, we would drink Sauza Sparkling Margaritas any day of the week. Though they’re a little pricey – $12.99 per 750 ml bottle and $7.99 per 375 ml bottle – it would be worth it for a beach day beverage. Check out this and the other flavors: Wild Berry and Original (aka Lime).

After reading yor review, I picked up one bottle each of the Sauza Sparkling Margarita Mango Peach and Original Lime for New Year’s Eve. Both were very good, although my favorite was the Lime. Bought three more bottles of Lime and now… Gone! Great stuff!
