Margaritas are what you pour for life’s happiest moments, as evidenced by 3.4 million #margarita tags on Instagram and a Jimmy Buffet song. This simple concoction of tequila, lime, agave, and orange liqueur is sheer perfection, so we thought it only fitting that here on America’s favorite island, we would pay tribute to it with a hard seltzer that even grumpy Matthew McConaughey would enjoy.

Lime, agave.

Growlers and on tap.

This hard seltzer is inspired by the traditional tequila cocktail, but loaded with lime and agave. It will quench any thirst and leave you needing more than just one.

Nachos, especially with cold toppings such as sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. Quesadillas filled with chicken, cheese, or vegetables. Salads with lime- or lemon-based vinaigrette. Fajitas, whether, mild, medium, or spicy. Blackened chicken and shrimp. Vegetables that are hearty enough for kabob sticks, including summer squash, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and artichoke hearts. Sorbet, crème brulee, key lime pie, and coconut custard pie.

In 1993, South Australian brewer Duncan MacGillivray was having a beer with some friends who owned a lemon farm, and they mentioned they didn’t know what to do with all the lemons they couldn’t sell because of their size. To which MacGillivray responded, “I’ll try brewing them.” Not much later, a truckload of lemons was delivered to MacGillivray’s brewery, and he went to work. It wasn’t long before he had a drink that customers absolutely loved, but he still needed a name. All he could think of was the punch line – two dogs – to a joke he once heard, and Two Dogs alcoholic lemonade was born. The bottle even included the question, “Why do you ask?” which was part of the joke, and because it was a rather crude joke, we’ll let you discover the joke for yourself.

Two Dogs was widely claimed to be the “world’s first brewed alcoholic lemonade,” despite the drinks such as Sima coming to market years before. Still, Two Dogs paved the way for similar offerings, including Hooper’s Hooch and Mike’s Hard Lemonade (known as alcopops in the United Kingdom and malternatives in America).

Twenty years after MacGillivray introduced the world to Two Dogs, Nick Shields developed Spiked Seltzer, in Westport, Connecticut. The hard seltzer category saw a spike in U.S. popularity around 2018, with White Claw dominating the commercial market, especially among health-conscious consumers.
