Choosing Your Booze
The first ingredient is easy: the aforementioned red juice blend.
Ive made this cocktail with a few different spirits, and they all worked.
My personal favorite was a good-quality tequila blanco.

Trader Joeshouse-brand tequilaisnt bad and works well here (plus, its just $19.99!).
I also enjoyed this cocktail with a mild mezcal and a squeeze of lime.
How To Make My Trader Joes 2-Ingredient Cocktail
Fill a glass two-thirds full with ice.
Add the tequila1 1/2 ounces for a lighter drink or two ounces for a slightly boozier drink.
Add the juice and give the drink a quick stir.
Garnish as desired and serve immediately.
Scale It Up
This is an incredibly easy drink to batch for a crowd.
For a simple, drinkable ratio, add one part spirit to three parts juice.
For six to eight drinks, Id suggest 1 1/2 cups tequila and 4 1/2 cups juice.
