The common claim vs. the evidence

The common claim

What most answers say — and what the evidence supports

The usual guess is that American Beverage Marketers - the company behind the Master of Mixes brand and the largest US cocktail-mixer producer - makes the Kirkland Signature margarita mix. No public evidence supports that: the label shows only 'Distributed by Costco,' and a documented sweep of recall databases, federal court records, Costco's own pages, and product listings turned up no tier 1-5 source naming the maker. The TTB spirits registry does not apply to a non-alcoholic mixer, so the deterministic route that identifies Kirkland liquor bottlers is unavailable here.

The honest part

Evidence & sources

Costco does not disclose its suppliers, and no tier 1–5 source names the maker of this product. Below is the documented search — every database and record we checked, and what each one returned.

What we checked — 7 databases & records on August 3, 2026
FDA food recall database (openFDA food/enforcement API) July 5, 2026

Searches of product_description for 'margarita' + 'kirkland' returned no Kirkland margarita-mix recall; the matches were unrelated (a '4HB Stack' supplement, Kirkland organic eggs, cooked shrimp). No co-packer surfaced via the recall route.

CourtListener / RECAP federal court records July 5, 2026

'Kirkland Signature' + margarita returns only Destileria Serralles, Inc. v. Kabushiki Kaisha Donq - a 'Don Q' rum trademark matter matched on the word margarita, unrelated to a Kirkland mixer. No litigation names a maker of the Kirkland margarita mix.

Costco.com product-detail page manufacturer field (via Wayback Machine; costco.com blocks automated fetch) July 5, 2026

Costco's 'mfName' catalog field appears only on the new-format (/p/-/) product pages, which are not captured in the Wayback Machine for this item; archived legacy PDPs carry no manufacturer field. Costco discloses no maker.

TTB COLA public registry (deterministic spirits route) July 5, 2026

A non-alcoholic margarita mixer carries no TTB Certificate of Label Approval, so the spirits registry that resolves Kirkland liquor bottlers does not cover it. (The separate Kirkland 'Golden Margarita' ready-to-drink, which contains alcohol, is a different product with its own bottler and is out of scope for this mixer record.)

Label, reviews, and product databases (Costcuisine, Amazon, Influenster, WarehouseRunner, Open Food Facts) July 5, 2026

Listings and hands-on reviews describe the ingredients (about 10% lime juice from concentrate, cane sugar, no preservatives) and show 'Distributed by Costco' only; none quotes a manufacturer or distributor company from the label.

Master of Mixes / American Beverage Marketers cross-check July 5, 2026

American Beverage Marketers (owner of the Master of Mixes brand) is the most-circulated guess for the maker, as the leading US cocktail-mix producer, but no source ties American Beverage Marketers or Master of Mixes to the Kirkland margarita mix. Unverified.

News and food-media sweep July 5, 2026

Coverage is limited to taste reviews and margarita recipes; no article or executive statement names the maker of the Kirkland margarita mix.

Frequently asked

Who makes Kirkland Signature margarita mix for Costco?
No reliable public evidence identifies the manufacturer. The non-alcoholic mixer's label shows only 'Distributed by Costco,' and a documented search of recall databases, federal court records, Costco's own product pages, and retail listings found no tier 1-5 source naming the maker. A non-alcoholic mix also has no TTB label approval, so the spirits registry that resolves Kirkland liquor bottlers does not cover it.
Is Kirkland margarita mix made by Master of Mixes?
That is not publicly documented. American Beverage Marketers, which owns the Master of Mixes brand, is the most-repeated guess because it is the largest US cocktail-mix producer, but no source ties it to the Kirkland margarita mix, so the claim has no tier 1-5 support.
Is the Kirkland margarita mix the same as the Kirkland Golden Margarita?
No - they are different products. This record covers the non-alcoholic Premium Margarita Cocktail Mix (a mixer you add tequila to). The Kirkland Golden Margarita is a separate ready-to-drink product that contains alcohol and has its own bottler; its maker is tracked separately.
