This Minnesota-Made Margarita Mix Can Now Be Found More Places

A Minnesota beverage company is expanding where you can find some of their products. Ramsey-based Summer Lakes Beverage has found more shelf space at popular local retailers, making finding their margarita mix easier to find, for fans of the company.

Summer Lakes Beverage recently announced they would be found in more local retailers, like "Total Wine & More, Cub Wine & Spirits, Kowalski's Markets, Fresh Thyme Farmers Markets, Coburn's liquor stores, Surdyk's Liquor & Cheese Shop, Haskell's Wine and Spirits and smaller liquor stores in Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Fargo and Bismarck markets in North Dakota and Chicago" according to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal.

The beverage company focuses on all-natural drink mixes, and that started with co-founder Joe Zimmerley, who was a chef, wanted to provide something that was both healthy and tasted good. According to the company's website:

Summer Lakes Beverage was founded in 2018 but the story began in early 2000’s when Joe Zimmerley was a chef. Joe applied his passion for scratch cooking to making fresh drinks for friends and family and developed his first cocktail mix recipes using only fresh, natural ingredients and no preservatives. 

Right now the company has 4 products that it offers customers, two that are margarita mixes, and two that go well with other liquor like rum or vodka. The margarita mixes are either a traditional flavor or spicy, then a Paloma mix (think grapefruit), followed by their bootleg mixer. Learn more about those products here.
