Chili’s Presidente Margarita is the best.
I’ve had El Jimador before. In my opinion El Mayor is quite a bit better and only slightly more expensive, if at all. Not familiar with Casadores.
Troll!!
Just kidding 
There is also a federal tax on top of that.
10% beer is taxed at $0.11/gallon, 10% wine at $1 per gallon, 10% spirits $0.54/gallon federally and in WA 10% beer is $0.15/ gallon. 10% wine is $0.87/gallon and 10% spirits is $14.27/gallon.
So a gallon of malt liquor made from beer would be taxed at $0.26, if they made it from wine it would be taxed at $1.87 and spirits would be $14.81. Making the Chi Chis mix as a wine to pay less in taxes would be insane.
Well, it says “grape wine” on the label, so take it up with Chi-Chi’s.
Like I said:
I’m quit comfortable saying the people making Chi Chi’s margaritas are idiots. If they would like to make more money on a better product they should give me a call.
Margaritas are a waste of good tequila. I’m not too particular about how someone spikes my slushy. The only mixers I use with my Casadores Anejo are ginger beer or 7-Up.
Cazadores Blanco is what I ordered for our wedding ten years ago for the margaritas. And I hand squeezed all the lime juice myself the night before because goddamit ain’t no margarita mix margaritas or Rose’s Lime Syrup margaritas gonna be served to my guests! I’m trying to remember whether we used Cointreau or possibly subbed Patron Citronage orange liqueur. I have a feeling we did the latter.
And, yeah, if I’m buying some sort of pre-made cocktail, I don’t expect it to be anything like the actual cocktail, just some vague simulacrum of the real deal. (And if it comes in a can, forget it. It’s just alcopop.)
Which is a shame because Back In The Day, Heublein put out some great canned and bottled cocktails. They needed a little “augmenting” but the flavors were very good. I remember with fondness taking their Brass Monkey cocktail in bottles on canoeing/camping trips.
I don’t like slushy margaritas. They’ve got to be liquid and on the rocks. Big difference.
To anybody ordering frozen drinks…your bartender fucking hates you. Especially if you order one when they’re busy. The only exception would be if they have the slushie machines.
