At 10% ABV, the offering presents a significantly higher alcohol content than many ready-to-drink alternatives. The Tall Boy Margarita range departs from the brand's traditional agave-wine base. Instead, the new RTD beverages utilize a malt foundation and are available in two flavor variants — Lime Splash and Strawberry Blitz. Rancho La Gloria's Tall Boy Margarita is positioned as a convenient and potent option for social gatherings and active lifestyles. Joey Parris, CMO of [Patco Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ranch-water-1), confirms: "With our new malt-based Tall Boy Margaritas, we're not just expanding our product line, we're creating a bold new occasion. These 19.2-ounce cans are designed for the consumer whose life is on the go and is ready to party. We're delivering the exceptional flavor and punch our fans expect, now in a convenient format built for a good time."
