What You'll Need

Ingredients

  • 1 packet of Batchwell Classic Margarita Mix (17g)
  • 1.5 oz tequila (skip this for a zero-proof version)
  • 1 oz pineapple juice (the tropical hero)
  • 1 oz coconut water (for that smooth finish)
  • 1 oz water
  • Plenty of ice (the colder, the better)

Equipment

  • A sturdy 12oz glass (or bigger if you're thirsty)
  • Shaker tin (for that perfect blend)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Dress the Rim: Feeling fancy? Give your glass some tropical edge with a toasted coconut rim—it's like vacation in glass form.
  • The Main Event: Toss one packet of Batchwell Classic Mix, 1.5 oz of tequila, 1 oz pineapple juice, 1 oz coconut water, and 1 oz of water into your shaker.
  • Shake What Your Mama Gave Ya: Add ice and shake it like you mean it (10-15 seconds should do)—think tropical storm, not gentle breeze. 
  • The Grand Finale: Pour that tropical paradise over fresh ice and add a pineapple wedge for that "I'm definitely on island time" look.
  • Sip & Smile: You've earned it!

Common Questions

Is this gluten-free? I need to know for... reasons.

Absolutely! All our mixes are certified gluten-free. Your gut will thank you, and so will your vacation mindset.

Can I save half for later?

I mean, you could, but why? Each packet is perfectly portioned for one epic drink. Live a little—you're already in tropical mode!

What if I'm feeling rebellious and want to use rum instead of tequila?

We're not the boss of you! Tequila is our go-to for that perfect margarita-meets-colada vibe, but rum would definitely lean more traditional piña colada. Try both and report back.

Do I really need to shake it?

For the full Batchwell experience, yes. Those tropical flavors need to mingle properly. No shaker? A mason jar with a lid works. No mason jar? Use whatever container you can seal and shake without redecorating your kitchen with pineapple juice.
