Mixed as per recipe, with Arette Repo and Martell VS. There are so many variations on the Margarita. This one is simple (a compliment), and pleasantly tart. I could easily drink several.

Wonderful variation of the margarita. A bit more sour than the typical margarita, but it is just as I like them. You may want to check the sweetness if you like your margaritas a bit sweeter.
