Thirsty Thursday: Margaritas in a Can?

These have been out for a while, but I only just tried them fairly recently.  Which, given my affinity for margaritas, is somewhat surprising.  But can you blame me?  It’s a drink from Bud Light, and even says “Bud Light Lime” on the can.  Having tried the Bud Light Lime in the past, a little hesitation is understandable.

But eventually I gave in.  Following the instructions on the can to fill a glass with ice, pour in the drink and enjoy, I was pleasantly surprised.  While it still is nowhere near a “real” margarita, in a pinch it works just fine.  On hot summer days like we have been having a lot of here in Southwestern Montana, you need something cool and refreshing after work.

A word of caution though… It may be a small can, but it packs a punch.  At 8% ABV, it is significantly stronger than most beers.  So please drink with care.
