tanqeuray | narancello | agave srp ... dont have any limoncello or ss so i subbed ... tastes like a margarita to me, in fact i could have been fooled into thinking it was one with some fancy triple sec. its good. i used less lemon and sugar than called for. could use no sugar.

With my ingredients I found it a little bit out of balance before I rose Italicus to 2 cl and added a dash of saline solution. A good lemony cocktail.
