Costco is making the process of hosting a summer party a little easier with its new Golden Margarita drinks. Not only is the fruity cocktail pre-mixed and ready to serve, but it also comes in an extra large size that's perfect for a crowd.
Costco's new Golden Margarita is a pre-mixed cocktail sold under the chain's Kirkland brand. According to the bottle, the drink delivers "a refreshing taste of lime and orange in a well-balanced ready-to-serve margarita." The boozy drink is also made with 100 percent de agave wine, which makes it more of a wine cocktail than a true margarita. Sold in a 1.5 liter bottle for just $10, the affordable, ready-to-serve cocktail requires nothing but some ice, a savory salt rim, and a thirsty crowd to enjoy.
