Who makes Kirkland Signature Premium Margarita Cocktail Mix (Non-Alcoholic), 1.75 L?
No reliable public evidence identifies the manufacturer of Kirkland Signature Premium Margarita Cocktail Mix (Non-Alcoholic), 1.75 L as of August 3, 2026.
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.
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.
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.
