This drink came up in a podcast I was listening to a few weeks ago with an unexpectedly high recommendation from a high brow bartender and tonight it was time to give it a go. I used Laphroaig 10 and it is definitely a smoky upgrade on what would could otherwise be merely a “scotch and coke”.

Wonderful. The lime garnish is subtle but really makes this cocktail pop.

What a pleasant little alternative to a margarita! Would be nice sipping on next to a swimming pool

Well what to do when you’re in the mood for a margarita and your backyard has a tree full of lemons and you get to wondering if you can make a tequila drink without limes? Diffords to the rescue with the Californian Margarita!
And this was an actually surprisingly good. This is going to go into my regular rotation - just to make sure my lemons don’t go to waste…….
A nice refreshing twist on a classic.
