Their margarita mix
Haven't tried their tequila, but their margarita mix is the best commercial mix I've tried. It's made with cane sugar and has no preservatives, so it's only good for about 10 days after you open it, but it is outstanding.

Cooking. Same things as I use olive oil for. I think it has a little lighter taste than EVOO.

I also really like their chicken salad.


I noticed their chicken salad had an expiration date that lasts about a month...That scared me off.

I think you will find the taste/quality of the bourbon all over the place after trying multiple bottles. A friend brought it over for a game last fall and it was good. He brought me two bottles a month later which I opened a week or so later. They tasted like hot shite similar to flavored kerosene. He didn't believe me and bought another bottle with the same results and recently bought another that tasted bad and is done with it, too. YMMV.

We have a stupid rule in GA which limits locations per county in which a store can sell liquor, so the one by me can't sell it.

If they have the quasi-deep dish pizza w/pepperoni and sausage it is really good, I don't care for the other take and bakes, the flavor is nothing like the deep dish. All of the Aidelles sausage have been good, the chicken sausage is excellent. Most of the Kirkland branded stuff is good. There is a roasted tomato basil soup that is good. We buy a good bit of produce there, the wine prices tend to be pretty good.

Each container is 1.75 liters (59.2 ounces) and you have to buy a two-pack. So you get 3.5 liters of the mix for about $6.00 here in Los Angeles.

I use a 3-to-1 ratio of mix to tequila and add a little Patron Citronage or Cointreau in as well. Makes a superb drink.

They make it from their rotisserie chickens I think. With the amount of salt that's in those chickens, the half life must be 50 years.

Yep.

Their vodka at $15 for a 1.75 is great as well! Great for bloodys, which is pretty much all I use it for.



This tequila was pretty great too.

I know that you can buy liquor at Sam's without a membership. I think it's illegal in Louisiana to charge membership fees for alcohol purchases.

I was told the same thing.
