Wine will always have its place. It’s social, familiar, and works beautifully with food. But as a brand built around ready-to-drink margaritas made with premium tequila, we’re often asked why tequila features so heavily in how we drink.
Here are five reasons we sometimes choose tequila margaritas over wine:
1. Lower Sugar and Carbs
A good quality tequila contains little to no sugar or carbs when enjoyed over ice.
Wine naturally contains residual sugars that vary by type and style. Our margaritas offer a clearer base with fewer variables, making it easier to enjoy without extra sugar.
2. Lower Calorie
Tequila is naturally lower in calories than many alcoholic drinks. Because it is made from agave, it is often perceived as less likely to cause sharp blood sugar spikes compared to sweeter wines or cocktails.
When used in a balanced margarita with natural ingredients, tequila can offer a lighter alternative while still delivering flavour and structure.
3. Fewer Hangovers
Tequila has a reputation for bad hangovers, but this often comes down to quality.
A good quality tequila won’t give you a hangover as it’s a clean spirit. Most people who say tequila is the cause of their hangover will be drinking a cheap, mixto tequila which contains lots of sugar.
As with any alcohol, moderation matters, but many people find quality tequila easier on the system than sugary or mixed drinks.
4. Can Support Digestion
Tequila has long been associated with digestion. A drink before a meal can help stimulate appetite, while one after a meal may help the body feel settled.
The agave in tequila contains natural compounds that have been linked to supporting healthy digestion. Enjoyed in moderation, this makes tequila a thoughtful choice for some people.
5. Naturally Probiotic Compounds
Agave plants contain fructans, which act as prebiotics that support healthy gut bacteria.
To benefit from these naturally occurring compounds, tequila should always be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced lifestyle. Our Pimentae margaritas are crafted with premium tequila and natural ingredients, delivering clean and flavourful cocktails.
This isn’t about replacing wine. It’s about having options.
For moments that call for something fresh, vibrant, and easy to enjoy, tequila margaritas offer a flavour-led alternative. Ready-to-drink margaritas made with premium tequila bring bar-quality taste straight to your glass with zero prep.
