The '[Taco Tuesday](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cholula-rita): Pineapple Spicy Marg' is a hard kombucha that serves as a creative re-interpretation of the typical [spicy margarita](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topo-chico-hard-margarita). Where the tropical nature of this hard kombucha can be attributed to the use of pineapple, the zing of heat is thanks to the inclusion of jalapeno, while a perfectly balanced dose of lime juice helps to marry the different flavor spectrums. Coming in eight percent ABV, this hard kombucha is made with low levels of sugar. Positioned as a re-imagination of the wildly successful 'Taco Tuesday' hard kombucha, the new 'Pineapple Spicy Marg' beverage is a fabulous example of a perfectly balanced margarita beverage that is packed with flavor and personality.
