Description:
The Margarita is the benchmark tequila cocktail and an official International Bartenders Association drink. Its origin story is debated, but its place in cocktail culture is unquestioned. It is a vivid citrus sour where tequila, lime, and orange sweetness must stay in balance. Salt on the rim highlights the agave flavor and softens the acidity.
