Tres Agaves Margarita Mix ($6.99, save $2)
Made with premium all natural ingredients, including agave nectar for a hint of sweetness, Tres Agaves Margarita Mixer is a great choice for your Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
Lunazul Blanco and Reposado Tequilas ($25.99, save $4)
Lunazul Blanco offers crystal clear, un-aged tequila that allows its 100% agave flavor to shine, and is exceptionally smooth and balance. Lunazul Reposado is a 100% agave tequila that’s “rested” in Bourbon barrels for smooth, rich flavor.
Jefferson’s Ocean Bourbon “Wheated” ($79.99, limited)
In a curious effort to discover what would happen if bourbon was left to weather the extreme elements — temperature fluctuations, salt air and the gentle rocking of the ship — Jefferson’s began aging bourbon at sea. The result was a thick, dark bourbon that showcases complex flavors reminiscent of other spirits; the almost black color and caramel flavors resemble a dark rum as the sugars within the barrels caramelized; the briny, savory taste from the barrels breathing the sea air is reminiscent of Islay Scotch; and at its core, it’s a true bourbon.
