Pleasingly tart for my palate! Even with a subpar reposado, the drink has a tropical flair thanks to the double dose of Curaçao and Triple Sec. Makes me want to retry it with a better quality tequila than what I've got on the shelf!

This was great. Not too sweet like so many other Margaritas. Great colour.
