Notes of tequila, orangey triple sec, bittersweet liqueur, blood orange and lime juice all sit in perfect kilter in this tasty riff on the classic Margarita
Garnett and Grant are right; it was excellent with an added half-ounce of extra-smoky mezcal, especially after "taming" it by teaming the mezcal with anejo tequila and a little more deep-purple blood orange and lime juice. A more complex, more colorful variation on the margarita.
Unlike almost everyone else... I confess I was a bit underwhelmed. Felt a bit watered down to me... lacked complexity and kick compared to other Margaritas. I did sub Campari for strucci which may be the issue....
Skipped the salt rim and added some saline instead, and switched the sugar syrup for agave. Fantastic, if dangerously easy-drinking, on a hot summer night.
Same substitutions but also mezcal in for the tequila… even better.
