The Original Margarita

Bright, tangy citrus meets a dry orange sweetness over a clean tequila base, tart and refreshing with a salted rim that sharpens each sip. Pale straw in color and served up with a lime slice, it’s a crisp, crowd-pleasing classic worth ordering or shaking at home for its balance and simplicity.
