Review:

Recipe supplied by Patrón, who say, “Megan’s cocktail was inspired by Seattle’s abundance of blackberries. A fruity blackberry punch and modern simplicity make the Skyline Margarita created by Seattle’s Megan Radke shine. Keenly balanced sweet blackberry shrub comes together with spicy heat from cayenne and chili powder to complement Patrón Silver’s light pepper notes and crisp finish. Citrus flavors join the star ingredients to make the perfect margarita for enjoying a warm day in the drizzly city.”

History:

Created in 2018 by Megan Radke, Seattle, Washington, USA.
