I've had the pleasure of reviewing a variety of products for the word of mouth marketing agency Bzzagent. When I was asked to participate in a review of the new line of "ladies" debuting from Skinnygirl, I was insanely excited. We all know Mama likes some booze. As part of this, I was given a discount on the ladies of Skinnygirl and asked to honestly review.
Skinnygirl describes their new Sweet 'N Tangy Grapefruit Margarita as a refreshingly tangy twist on the original Skinnygirl Margarita, adding a grapefruit splash to the classic recipe of premium Silver Tequila and agave nectar. DAAAMN BOO! That sounds amazeballs! I loves me some margaritas.
Let's just cut straight to the chase here, mkay. Going in expecting a refreshingly tangy twist on a classic margarita, I was let down. The consistency was unexpected, slightly thicker than I want in a marg. The taste cloyingly sweet with tang, I wouldn't say Sweet 'N Tangy per say, but there was a definite tang. As this was already a mixed drink, I didn't add or change anything. I think that for the price, you can buy a different light marg mix and add a splash of grapefruit to suit your taste. Or find a recipe for light, flavored margaritas.
I'm holding out hope that the vodka will be better! Have you tried Skinnygirl? What's your fave flavor or drink? Let me know, so I can try too!
I have tried the Skinnygirl vodka - the blueberry pomegranite flavor - it was on clearance, and you know me I'll try just about any vodka from the clearance aisle. I mixed it with cranberry juice and it was very flavorful and smooth. The blueberry made it a little sweet, but was a very good vodka.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how I've felt with the other Skinnygirls... I LOVE Bethenny, so I wanted to like it, but i was disappointed. I would rather just make margaritas how I want to with real tequila. I also don't typically get down with "light" drinks... I'll cut calories in other places, I want my booze to taste good. Know what I'm sayin?
ReplyDeleteI dont like any of the skinny girl drinks. when i am trying to be skinny i mix my vodka with water or just drink shots...but then again i am borderline alcoholic.
