Get the Tommy's Margarita pouch →A Tommy's Margarita is the bartender's take on the classic: it leans on agave rather than orange liqueur, so it tastes cleaner, brighter and more tequila-forward. MXTOLOGY's version keeps that honest, citrus-driven profile in a glass-free, chillable pouch that's built for Australian summers.
Why is a pouched margarita better than a bottle or can?
A pouched margarita is better because the resealable, expandable pouch lets you actually activate the drink in the vessel you sip from — something a bottle or can can't do. This is the Open · Close · Shake · Sip ritual:
- Open the spout and the flexible pouch takes a big breath of fresh air, expanding as it goes.
- Close the lid — only a resealable pouch lets you seal it back up.
- Shake the cocktail in its own vessel to liven the flavours; for a citrus-driven drink like a margarita, this wakes up the lime and agave.
- Sip straight from the pouch or pour it over ice with a salted rim.
A bottle only holds a tiny pocket of air in the neck, and a can can't be re-closed once opened. MXTOLOGY is the only ready-to-drink cocktail that can be activated inside its own drinking vessel — which is why the shake is the ritual, not a shortcut.
How strong is MXTOLOGY's premixed margarita?
MXTOLOGY's Tommy's Margarita is 14.2% ABV and contains 1.5 standard drinks in a 130ml pouch. It's one of the stronger, more spirit-forward cocktails in the range — closer to a bar-poured margarita than a watered-down RTD. The exact ABV and standard drinks are always printed on the pouch and shown on the product page.

How do you serve MXTOLOGY's margarita for the best taste?
Serve it well chilled. Activate the pouch, then either sip straight from it or pour over plenty of ice in a glass with a salted rim and a wedge of lime. The shake step matters most here — livening the citrus is what separates a flat premix from a bright, balanced margarita. Full serving guidance lives on the recipe page.

Frequently asked questions
Is MXTOLOGY's margarita a real cocktail?
Yes. It's made fresh in Australia with real spirits and no artificial ingredients, and it's a Tommy's-style margarita — agave-forward rather than reliant on orange liqueur. See the product page for the ingredient list.
