A few weeks ago I found out about Ripe All Natural Cocktail Mixers at an eco-friendly party in NYC. After tasting the delicious margarita mix, I knew I had to do a full review. Ripe has three cocktail mixers: a Pure Squeezed Margarita Mixer, San Marzano Bloody Mary Mixer, and the Pure Squeezed Sour Mixer. [...]
