For me, the Cointreau overpowered the drink. I used Don Julio 70 and it overpowered it. I think this is the first time I will disagree with John (LOL)

Respectfully, with an additive laden Cristalino, of course it will end up like that. Even the standard Don Julio Blanco tends to be too hidden. This is a Margarita which truly needs a vegetal, mineral and/or citrus-y additive free Blanco Tequila. I opened my Cascahuin Blanco and tried this first, and it was really good, with it being balanced towards the very tart side.

Having spent the last 50 years in Southern California, I have drank a lot of margarita. I always find them a bit too sweet and flat in flavour. This was off the charts for me. It is simple, and bright and clean in flavour. Nicely sour as if you have taken a shot of tequila with a taste of lime. I will definitely have this one again. We did add Difford's Margarita Bitters which nicely embellished a wonderful cocktail.
