Production & Heritage

Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery, founded in 2010 in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, holds the distinction of being the first federally licensed distillery in the history of East Tennessee. The base spirit for the Strawberry Mango Margarita begins with Tennessee-grown corn distilled in copper pot stills to produce a clean, smooth white spirit. That corn moonshine is then blended with Ole Smoky's proprietary in-house margarita recipe and all-natural strawberry and mango flavors before being brought to 40 proof and packaged in the brand's signature Mason Jar — a nod to the improvised containers Appalachian moonshiners historically used.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright strawberry leads the nose, followed quickly by citrusy mango and a subtle undercurrent of sweet corn. The overall impression is tropical and inviting, with the fruit notes well-balanced rather than artificially sharp.

Taste: The entry is soft and silky, delivering immediate strawberry sweetness layered with ripe mango. Mid-palate, the corn spirit base becomes more apparent, grounding the tropical fruit with a grainy sweetness. Hints of lime and a tangy citrus bite emerge toward the peak, mimicking the classic margarita profile.

Finish: Crisp and refreshing, with a lightly tart character that keeps it from cloying. A very mild alcohol warmth lingers briefly, clean enough to encourage the next sip.

How to Drink Strawberry Mango Margarita

This moonshine cocktail is designed to be enjoyed straight from the jar — chilled or over ice. Its 20% ABV and built-in margarita character mean it requires no mixing to serve. For those who want to build on the base, consider these options: a Frozen Moonshine Margarita, blending it with ice and a squeeze of fresh lime for a slushy summer serve; a Tropical Moonshine Punch, combining it with pineapple juice and coconut water for a crowd-friendly pitcher drink; or a Strawberry Mango Paloma, topping a pour with grapefruit soda and a salt rim to add bitter-citrus contrast to the sweetness.

• Summer barbecues and outdoor gatherings where easy-pour cocktails are needed
• Gifting to someone who enjoys flavored spirits and tropical cocktails

How does Strawberry Mango Margarita compare to a traditional ready-to-drink margarita? Unlike most tequila-based RTD margaritas, Ole Smoky's version uses a corn moonshine base, which imparts a softer, sweeter grain character rather than agave bite. The 20% ABV also delivers noticeably more strength than many canned or bottled margaritas that typically range from 5% to 15% ABV.

Where is Strawberry Mango Margarita made? It is produced at the Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, located in the Great Smoky Mountains region of East Tennessee. The corn used in the base spirit is sourced from Tennessee farms.

What foods pair well with Strawberry Mango Margarita? Grilled shrimp tacos complement the lime-citrus tang; spicy chicken wings benefit from the cooling sweetness of the mango and strawberry; fresh fruit salad echoes the tropical notes; a charcuterie plate with mild cheeses provides a savory counterpoint; and key lime pie mirrors the citrus finish.

What sizes does Strawberry Mango Margarita come in? The standard size is the 750ml Mason Jar. Ole Smoky also produces some expressions in smaller jars, though availability varies by market.

Is Strawberry Mango Margarita worth the price? It positions as an accessible, value-tier flavored moonshine cocktail. Given that it functions as a complete ready-to-serve drink rather than a base spirit requiring additional ingredients, it represents solid value for casual entertaining and outdoor occasions.

Why Strawberry Mango Margarita?

What separates this expression from generic premixed cocktails is its foundation: actual copper-pot-distilled corn moonshine rather than a neutral grain spirit or malt base. That Tennessee corn backbone provides structure and a subtle sweetness that supports the all-natural fruit flavors without tasting synthetic. The 20% ABV hits a practical sweet spot — strong enough to feel like a real cocktail, approachable enough for extended sipping on a warm afternoon. For anyone looking for a no-fuss, legitimately spirit-forward tropical drink rooted in Appalachian distilling tradition, it delivers exactly what the Mason Jar promises.
