Costco is back at it again with their delicious, giant margaritas to make our summers perfect. You may have heard about the massive premade Kirkland margaritas, but are you ready for more? The next addition to their boozy beverage line is the Kirkland Strawberry Margarita.
I can’t wait to pour myself a glass and relax in the summer breeze!
What’s in the Strawberry Margarita?
This Strawberry Margarita is similar to Costco’s ready-to-drink Golden Margarita Wine Cocktail. Both beverages contain agave wine as opposed to the expected tequila, hence the “wine cocktail” label. Don’t let that deter you, though! These drinks are still satisfying and will definitely quench your margarita thirst.
The Strawberry Margarita is also made with real lime juice and 100% cane sugar, as well as strawberry, of course. Each bottle is 1.5 liters and has an ABV of 12.7%, like its Kirkland margarita counterparts. That’s about two bottles’ worth of wine, but hey! I don’t mind. Strawberry has always been one of my favorite flavors, especially for summer. The tart sweetness is exactly what I strive to sip on while out in my backyard gardening or trying to decorate my deck just right.
Lucky for us, Costco is still selling the classic Kirkland margarita that I mentioned above. It’s premade with lime, orange, cane sugar, gold tequila and triple sec. Doesn’t matter what you pick up—it’s easy to drink over ice!
Where Can I Grab a Bottle?
Costco has them for less than $10 a bottle which is beyond amazing. Just a reminder that Costco is still observing social distancing and asking customers to wear face coverings. Be safe if you choose to venture out to your local warehouse. Then, take your new favorite Costco margarita home, kick back and relax in that summer sunshine!

Mild Tomato SalsaI got this salsa recipe from my sister, and my children and I have been making batches of it ever since. We pair pint jars with packages of tortilla chips for zesty Christmas gifts. When the kids give this present to their teachers, they can truthfully say they helped make it. —Pamela Lundstrum, Bird Island, Minnesota
Fresh Salsa VerdeThis flavorful salsa verde is delicious with tortilla chips, but it's also great served on tacos and grilled meats. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen. Looking for more salsa recipes? Try this delicious

Freezer SalsaKids in the home economics class at the school where I teach were making this freezer salsa, and it smelled so good that I got the recipe. It's a great way to use up garden produce. —Deanna Richter, Elmore, Minnesota
Zucchini Pico de Gallo SalsaI love veggies and fresh ingredients this time of year. I make big bowls of this salsa, which we eat with pretty much everything in the summer when tomatoes are bountiful. My kids love it, though I leave out the jalapeno when making it for them. —Amy Gattuso, Madison Heights, Michigan
Roasted Tomato SalsaOur family's all-time favorite salsa, this recipe is the reason we grow a huge garden every summer. We make gallons of it and share with our neighbors. You might find yourself eating it right out of the bowl with a spoon. —Donna Kelly, Orem, Utah
Chunky SalsaThis fresh-tasting salsa is wonderfully chunky. If you like it hotter, add more habanero peppers; if you prefer a mild salsa, add fewer or replace with jalapenos.—Dana Hayes, Canton, Ohio
Garden SalsaThis garden salsa recipe combines ripe ingredients and subtle seasonings to make a real summer treat. —Michelle Beran, Caflin, Kansas
Slow-Cooked Peach SalsaFresh peaches and tomatoes make my salsa a winner over store-bought versions. As a treat, I give my coworkers several jars throughout the year. —Peggi Stahnke, Cleveland, Ohio
Spicy Watermelon SalsaI threw this together after an overzealous trip to the farmers market! My family loved it from the first bite. You can serve it right away but the best flavor is achieved after letting the salsa rest in the refrigerator for a few hours. —Andrea Heyart, Aubrey, Texas
Spicy Chunky SalsaVinegar adds a refreshing tang to this sweet tomato salsa. It's wonderful as is, but for more heat, leave in some hot pepper seeds. —Donna Goutermont, Sequim, Washington
