Margarita
Few cocktails deliver pure refreshment and bold flavor as effortlessly as the Margarita. With a foundation of vibrant blanco tequila, lime juice, and a touch of orange liqueur, the Margarita is all about balance—bright, crisp, and perfectly calibrated. It’s a cocktail that rewards simplicity and precision: freshly squeezed juice, quality ingredients, and the right shake make all the difference. While often associated with sandy beaches and sunny patios, the Margarita’s appeal goes far beyond seasonality. It's the agave-forward sibling to the Sidecar, equally at home in a casual gathering or a more refined setting, excellent when paired with food or enjoyed by itself. Whether you’re serving one or building a round, a good Marg never goes out of style.
