  1. We tried Calamansi with our Taco Tuesday margaritas. We were tired of the margarita mix you buy in the stores. This was a great hit. It made the most yummy margaritas. A definite step up. Like going to the best bar in town only you're making the drinks yourself. The best part was it was multifunctional. We made a pitcher of Calamansi for our kids and nondrinking guests. Taco Tuesday will never be the same!!
