Texas Roadhouse Original Margarita - Frozen
This frozen margarita is high in histamine from the lime juice, lemon juice, tequila, and added sulfites.
Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.
It is a blended tequila drink built on lime and lemon juice with sweeteners, and several parts drive it up.
-
Lime and lemon juice — both citrus juices are classic histamine liberators, so they run high on their own.
-
Tequila and sodium metabisulfite — the tequila is alcohol, which can block the DAO enzyme that clears histamine, and the added sulfite runs high too, with agave syrup adding a bit more.
There is no clean tweak that keeps this a margarita, so a non-alcoholic, citrus-free drink is the gentler pick.
