We got our hands on a sample of the Cucumber Margarita Mix from The Real Dill, and after one sip, we’re calling it: this is the best margarita mix on the market right now and yes, even better than your go-to Mexican spot slinging down the street.

Here’s why it hits harder than the rest:

  • It actually tastes fresh. Like, really fresh. Think hand-squeezed lime juice, vibrant zest and a citrusy zing you only get from the real thing.
  • No sugary syrup taste. This one’s tart, crisp and beautifully balanced. No artificial aftertaste, no sugar crash.
  • The cucumber cool factor. The addition of fresh cucumber juice brings an insanely smooth and refreshing edge.
  • Real ingredients. Made with only whole, fresh ingredients: lime juice, lime zest, orange juice, orange zest and cucumber juice. Nothing fake up in here.
  • 100% natural. No chemicals, no preservatives, no major allergens. It’s ready to shake, pour, sip and enjoy.

“Whether you’re stocking up your at-home bar cart or looking for a refreshing alternative to scratch-made margaritas, we think that you’ll be pleasantly surprised with this margarita mix,” says Tyler DuBois, co-founder of The Real Dill. “There is tons of fresh citrus and cucumber squeezed into every batch that packs so much fresh flavor that you won’t believe that it is a packaged margarita mix.”

But wait, if salty is more your speed, they’ve got something for you too.

Enter: The Real Dill Pickle Juice.

The same folks behind your favorite pickles are bottling what’s at the bottom of the jar, but better. Their version isn’t just vinegar water with flavoring. Instead it’s made from fresh, whole ingredients and packs a seriously bold punch of health benefits.

Use it to:

  • Amp up your Bloody Mary, dirty martini or Michelada.
  • Create the ultimate pickleback when you’re feeling feisty.
  • Add it to dressings, marinades, grilled meats or seafood.
  • Sip post-workout for a natural hit of electrolytes to replenish and recover.

“Pickle Juice is everything but the crunch,” says DuBois. “While other pickle juice and pickle brine products are glorified vinegar water with preservatives that offer a synthetic taste, our version is made with fresh ingredients so it tastes exactly like what’s at the bottom of your pickle jar.”


Refreshing or briny, The Real Dill is removing all the fluff and creating delicious products perfect for summer sipping. We’re giving both of these products our RMFR stamp of approval to improve your residential mixology movement.
