Description

The Limoncello Margarita keeps the sharp tequila-lime backbone of the original but gives it a softer Italian lemon glow. Limoncello adds rounded citrus sweetness, triple sec keeps the orange note in place, and blanco tequila stops the drink becoming too gentle.

It is perfect when you want a Margarita that feels sunnier and less aggressive. The flavour is bright lemon, fresh lime and clean agave, with enough sweetness to make it smooth and enough acidity to keep it lively.
