Black Iguana was definitely a chick magnet.

The Fighting Tiger fans mashed up their Purple & Gold colors  with the Black & Lime Green!  Fashionistas, not.  Partyistas, yes!  

LSU-Grrrrls

The LSU GRRRRRLS not only wore their Purple & Gold stripes with pride — they also really loved the Black Iguana Frozen Ritas!  

David Alden Wilks and LSU tailgate party friends set a new standard in FUN! The large supply of Frozen Ritas brought a lot of tailgating cheer and out-of-the-beer-box creativeness. 

LSU-BeerBongDavid set up a Beer Bong for Black Iguanas and it was the Bomb!

IGUANA HOUSE Lyrics

Come, and go with me, to my little house.
Come, and go with me, to my little house.
It’s a little house, with room in the freezer.
There is, lots of room, right next to those peas.
And now I know, I can throw away that blender.
Come, and go with me, to my little house.
Come, and go with me, to my little house.

Sweetner in Pre-Mixed Frozen Ritas

10 06 2009

High-Fructose Corn SyrupDo Black Iguana Frozen Ritas contain high-fructose corn syrup?

We’ve been asked that question numerous times. The concern about the use of high-fructose corn syrup in our pre-mixed margarita product is most commonly voiced by individuals who may be allergic to it, diabetic, or concerned about weight control.

For those of you who’ve experienced trouble finding a pre-mixed margarita beverage that does not have high-fructose corn syrup, the search is over!

Although high-fructose corn syrup is a common sweetener and preservative used in beverages, we do not use it.  The sugar we use in the Black Iguana Frozen Rita product comes from sugarcane and/or sugar beets.
