Thanks to Soula for inviting me to try their canned cocktails. They provided me with a free sample in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

This weekend is fiesta time in Southwest Florida and around the country. Perhaps you want a traditional cocktail to celebrate, but don't want the fuss of mixing. Try these canned Margaritas for Cinco de Mayo. They come from Soula and are available in Florida.

For the record, I'm generally skeptical about canned cocktails. I like things made fresh to order. However, I also understand that while that is ideal, it is not always possible.

Canned Margaritas And Cocktails

Lugging bottles on a boat or out to the pool is not only annoying, that glass poses a danger if broken. Same with beach outings, picnics, etc. We are getting into the beach and boating season so I'm always looking for a good alternative.

Just because it comes in a can does not mean you have to drink from one. Line a glass with your favorite salt or seasonings, add ice and go.

About Soula Canned Margaritas

Soula is the brainchild of two women who loved cocktails, convenience and more a healthful lifestyle. This line is just one of their creations. The other is Sake based. Soula is not made from tequila itself but is derived from the same agave plants in Jalisco, Mexico.

Instead of getting distilled, the Blue Weber agave is fermented into wine. So if you are someone who has a love/hate relationship with tequila but still likes the idea of a Margarita, this could be your alternative.

The agave wine gets flavored and carbonated for a refreshing touch. If it's in a can, I expect carbonation. Soula comes in four flavors: Pineapple Chili, Paloma, Lime and Mango Citrus.

They are all pretty mild and not too sweet. I would compare them to more of a spritzer that is refreshing and goes down easy. I would try them again.. Just keep them nice and cold.

There is a trend for lower alcohol beverages and at 5% ABV, this fits into the category. It is also vegan, non-GMO, sulfite free and gluten free. These run around $12.99 a 4-pack.
