About

Ahh, Sunshine Margarita. Sipping it feels just like the perfect summer day. It's beaming with fruity flavors, thanks to your favorite flavor of jam (or a few cocktails with a few of your favorite jams!). And a little slither of jalapeño brings a bit of boldness every good day needs. Warm days call for a Sunshine Margarita! Cheers to warm breezes and sweet sips!
