Monaco Tequila Lime Crush

Another of Monaco's better RTD's this just straight up tastes like a well margarita. I'm not going to lie, it tastes better than some margaritas I've had at shoddier restaurants and dive bars. Hell it may even outdo some of the more basic margarita mixes on the market. I don't have too much else to say about this one. It mostly smells like lime and other citrus with faint whiffs of tequila. And it tastes like a margarita made from cheap but passable ingredients. Like any Monaco cocktail it is very sweet and artificial tasting. But for the price point and 9% ABV that's to be expected and that it's drinkable while only being somewhat cloying is incredible. I recommend drinking this one on the rocks to cool some of the more syrupy undertones. As far as cheap RTDs go this is pretty damn good. By the way, this has been lightly carbonated. I enjoy carbonated drinks and it doesn't really mess with the flavors. If anything it makes this a bit snappier but figured it was worth noting here.
