Hazardous ingredients
Pasteurised egg white (or aquafaba) is potentially hazardous to those with allergy or intolerance.
Review:
A Margarita without orange liqueur (e.g. a Tommy's Margarita) is not a "margarita" at all but a tequila sour. The triple sec orange liqueur is one of the things that define the margarita (which sits within the Daisy cocktail family). The Tequila Sour may late ring of a Margarita but it is a very tasty cocktail nonetheless.
Variant:
Served on-the-rocks in an old-fashioned glass.
