Sir Paul McCartney (yup, of Beatles fame) likes his Margarita's made with a splash of freshly squeezed orange juice (preferably clementine juice). Hence, this recipe is named in his honour.

So the Beatles conquered the USA twice; once in the Sixties and then again in February of this year? We went with Mandarin juice...a top shelf Margarita.

Will try it with clementine, with orange is more Bee Gees than Beatles

Added an anejo tequila float. Brought it up to a whole new level.

Like the variant and a great way to use up post-christmas clementines!

Im sure it would be quite interesting with clementine! But the orange juice version tates unoriginal and somehow boring

Just tried the variant with the Clementine juice and Mandarin Napoleon. Wow, although I liked the original, the other is much more subtle in flavour. Either are perfect.
