Made with Patron Anejo. Delicious! Basically a richer, less tart margarita, which seems like maybe a great option before or after eating, with the more traditional version pairing better with food?

I like how the almond comes through. Refreshing but not too tart. I agree that adding 1/2 lemon juice might be nice. Used steens cane syrup. Great on a hot 116 at 17:30 day—may need a couple more….

Delightful! So much more than a Margarita.

I didn't find the amaretto and bourbon over-powering - there's not much of them.
A Margarita can be a little sharp but thought this was very well balanced and delicious.
We had jar chickpeas open so used aquafaba and it produced a persistent foam.
I'll be having this again.

This was very nice. Great with the smooth texture. Did use Agave Syrup instead of the sugar syrup to give a little more agave flavour. Turned out wonderful.

Delicious. Margarita vibes accented with an almond-whiskey foam. I’ve made this a couple of times and I like to add 1/2 lemon juice or extra lime for balance
