A delicious new canned margarita has hit shelves at select 7-Eleven® stores across the Las Vegas Valley, offering thirsty customers the opportunity to savor one of the region’s most beloved cocktails at their convenience.
Dubbed the “RhondaRita,” the drink is the creation of Rhonda Chapman, a Vegas local with an illustrious 40-year career in the hospitality industry. The RhondaRita was born in 2010 and became an instant sensation among locals and visitors alike when Chapman introduced it in honor of her late husband.
The drink has garnered a devoted following with enthusiastic endorsements from baseball legends, NHL and NFL Hall-of-Famers, pro wrestlers, pro golfers, tennis stars and even Hollywood celebrities. For many, the RhondaRita has become an essential part of their Las Vegas experience, symbolizing the true spirit of hospitality. After years of receiving such an overwhelmingly positive response, she decided to can the beloved cocktail in 2018.
“The passion people have for the RhondaRita brings me immense joy,” Chapman said. “In my business, customer satisfaction is the ultimate measure of success, and the love for this cocktail tells me we’re doing everything right.”
Available in 12-ounce cans as a six- or 12-pack, the Rhonda Rita is nearly identical to the one Chapman crafts behind her bar every day, with the only difference being the absence of fresh citrus, which can be easily added by consumers themselves. Every can captures the effervescence and creative inspiration of a true icon in the world of Las Vegas hospitality.
The RhondaRita is now available at participating 7-Eleven stores throughout the Las Vegas Valley, with plans for wider distribution already underway. To locate the nearest store carrying the RhondaRita, visit rhondarita.com/where-to-get-rhondarita.
The RhondaRita is expected to be available nationally by the end of 2024.
