Review:
I was tempted to also split the citrus juice to also bring lemon or even pink grapefruit juice into this cocktail but when I made the recipe above it was so tasty that I opted to leave well alone.
Variant:
Margarita on-the-rocks (Difford's recipe)
Improved Trashy Margarita
Margarita (straight-up)
Margarita (frozen)
Mezcal Margarita
History:
Adapted from a recipe created in February 2023 by Simon Day, a fellow Discerning Drinker, and shared via a comment on our Margarita on-the-rocks page. As Simon says, "Quite excellent." I added a split tequila base to Simon's recipe and slighted upped the volumes.
