Yes, I had it at a party (thrown by a type 2) a few weeks ago. It's a pretty good imitation of the real thing.
I still prefer Frescaritas  with a sprinkle of salt and a squeeze of key (Mexican) lime.

| | | Yup, I have posted a few times about Baja Bob's margarita mix. I actually don't like the margarita mix as much as the sweet and sour mix to make wonderful margaritas.

| | Glad to be of assistance Granny! 
Hey, I have a question. Does Fresca have a different brand equivalent? Fresca and lemonade create a near perfect margarita flavor but sometimes I can't find Fresca at the store.

| | | Sounds tasty, but when I am drinking something like margaritas, I drink so few or do it so rarely, I want the real thing. I normally am more of a fan of simpler drinks too. I love my gin and diet tonic or rum and diet coke.

| | It IS tasty, and if I didn't mix 'em myself, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
BTW, diet tonic & diet coke are the "real thing", eh - but Fresca doesn't make the cut? Funny stuff.
and, Steve? I have trouble finding it too sometimes . . . so if anyone knows a reasonable substitute, please tell!
