The Juice Box Grows Up Try an icy, ready-to-drink margarita.

By Jennifer Wang

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

The genius is in the packaging: a shiny 12.7-ounce pouch with a straw. Think Capri Sun juice pouch--but filled with an icy, ready-to-drink margarita.

That's the concept for the Cordina Mar-GO-rita, a portable (and very drinkable) cocktail from Big Easy Blends, a New Orleans company started in 2009 by Sal LaMartina and partners Antonio LaMartina and Craig Cordes. With distribution in only 13 states, the cocktail's monthly sales have already exceeded $100,000, and Sal projects annual revenue of $60 million in less than five years.

"We've got plans for GO-jitos, pi�a-GO-ladas and strawberry daiq-GO-ris," he says. "We're going to change the way people enjoy frozen cocktails."
