FESTIVAL BORN AT COACHELLA IN 2019
We workshopped and batched our first Festival Born Skinny Margarita in collaboration with Jason Eisner from Block Party Bar in LA at Coachella 2019 headlining Childish Gambino, Tame Impala, Ariana Grande, Janelle Monáe, Weezer, Aphex Twin, Khalid, & 1975. We have since bottled our legendary Top Hat Sugar-Free Lime Margarita Mix so you can mix and enjoy Skinny Margaritas at home.

"We love working with Jason Eisner and Block Party at Coachella. My favorite thing about his style is that he always brings hollistic culinary innovation to his cocktails and I get to learn more about that side of our industry. Replacing sugar with healthier substitutes like monk fruit has been really important to me in the past couple of years and Jason was a big part of inspiring that." - Shane McKnight

-
Once the keg is batched accurately, insert the lid sideways at a 45 degree angle and spin the lid to line up the seal exactly and carefully with the rim of the keg and clamp the lid closed firmly.
-
Shake the keg side to side mixing the settled ingredients from the bottom up over the top by tipping the keg side to side horizontally for 2 minutes.
-
Connect the properly cleaned gray/silver colored cornelius connector onto the plug on the keg marked "gas in" connector and pushing it down over the plug firmly. Release the outer ring on the connector and it will clip onto the keg lid plug in the center of the lid.
-
Make sure the gas is on, and flowing.
-
Pull up on the pressure release ring on the top of the charging stone lid quickly 3 times and quickly release to properly cycle gas into the keg of batched cocktail.
-
Test the flow and adjust the gas pressure down to 12-15psi if the flow is too fast.
-
RESHAKE once or twice daily: shake the keg thoroughly from side to side lifting the bottom over the top for 1 full minute at least once per day to ensure proper mixing of all ingredients
