Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Margarita expire?
A freshly made margarita should be consumed immediately for optimum flavor and safety, though it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days. If you're using a store-bought margarita mix, it usually lasts unopened for about 12 to 18 months. Once opened, the mix should be consumed within 1 to 2 months.
How do you tell if Margarita is bad?
Checking if a margarita has gone bad is fairly easy. If it emits an off-smell that's sour or somewhat like vinegar, it's a clear sign it has gone bad. Also, if you notice any mould growth or discoloration, then it's definitely time to toss your margarita.
Tips for storing Margarita to extend shelf life
• Store your homemade margarita or opened margarita mix in the refrigerator to help it last longer.
• Keep the drink in a well-sealed container to maintain its freshness.
• If you want to save it for a later date, consider freezing your margarita in ice cube trays. You can thaw them in the fridge whenever you want to enjoy a glass.
