Agave margarita! Ole!

I got my Williams-Sonoma catalogue in the mail recently. The best product is on the back page.The company has just introduced a line of margarita mixes sweetened with agave nectar. Since me and my friends have been using this sweetener quite a lot lately as an alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners, we did a little happy dance at the thought of more healthful margaritas while hanging out on the patio this summer.
Does seem a bit of a misnomer; a healthy margarita? But it's about as unrealistic to give up margaritas as it is to give up sweets. And why not have the healthiest margarita possible, right? So we plan to try them. But of course you could also make your own recipe using agave nectar instead of simple syrup. Certainly would be cheaper. The WS mixes are a whopping $16.95 for a 32-ouce bottle of the following flavors: Cherry Blossom Sling, Elderflower Twist, Golden Skirt or Classic.

I saw these in WS the other day and was excited because my boyfriend is into both agave nectar and margaritas. However, agave is not the main sweetener of these mixes. I think it's corn syrup or something. You might want to check the ingredients label. I think the packaging is pretty misleading.
