About This Mission to Margs II Box from Shaker & Spoon
Monthly cocktail kit designed by agave specialist Sam Jimenez. House-made syrups, premium bitters, and bartender-crafted recipes for 12 margarita-inspired drinks. Full-pour or zero-proof — everything included except the spirit
Houston, we have margaritas.
Shaker & Spoon’s Mission to Margs II Cocktail Mixer Kit charts a new course in margaritas - bringing back our beloved original for a second launch with all new recipes.
Same structure. Completely different orbit.
Across three cocktails, tequila moves through citrus, tropical fruit, tea, and florals, all built on the classic margarita backbone and reimagined with unexpected ingredients like coffee, pandan, and bergamot.
Every recipe also includes zero-proof instructions, so you can make each drink with or without alcohol.
Think:
Bright, bold margaritas
Layered, globally inspired flavors
A cocktail kit designed for both drinking and not drinking
No turbulence. Just a smooth launch into new flavor territory.

How We Feel About This Mission to Margs II Box
Introduction
We’ve been on a bit of a collecting streak lately — first with the special PourMore promotion that landed us the Team Porter and Team Dixon bottles, and now with our May 2026 Shaker & Spoon delivery: the Mission to Margs II box. Just like those limited‑run bottles, this box felt like an opportunity we didn’t want to miss.
And yet… here it sits, still unopened, because we’re hilariously behind on mixing cocktails. When your Sipping Room is overflowing with options, “so many cocktails, so little time” becomes less of a joke and more of a lifestyle. But even from the outside, this box feels like a bright, citrus‑forward adventure waiting for the right evening to launch.
His Take (Jeff)
A margarita box always gets my attention, but this one feels like it’s going to push the boundaries in the best way. I’m expecting riffs that lean bold — maybe smoky, maybe spicy, maybe something that makes me pause mid‑sip and say, “Okay, that’s clever.” I’m already imagining the cocktail that becomes my favorite: the one with layers, depth, and a little swagger. If this box delivers even one drink that surprises me, it’ll be a win.
Her Take (Nancy Fae)
For me, margarita boxes feel like bottled sunshine — bright, refreshing, and full of personality. I’m hoping for cocktails that lean juicy and vibrant, the kind you want to sip slowly while the evening breeze rolls in. I’m also curious which drink will become the one I’ll want to recreate for friends, or the one that earns a permanent spot in our Sipping Room rotation. Even unopened, this box already feels like a mini‑vacation waiting to happen.
Closing — His, Hers & the Good Life
His: Bring on the twists, the riffs, and the unexpected flavor detours.
Hers: Bring on the sunshine, the freshness, and the easy‑sipping joy.
The Good Life: Together, we’re ready to shake, sip, and savor whatever this Mission to Margs II adventure brings — because the best cocktails aren’t just mixed… they’re shared.
