Smoky Marg

First you start with fruity margaritas, midori sour, amaretto sour (are you getting nostalgic yet?, am “carbon dating” myself , ha ha) , then as your palate & taste gets sophisticated over the years (graduated from Reposado, Cuervo - memories!!!), you go for something with a kick and smoky flavor!

Ingredients

• 1 oz tequila

• 1/2 oz Maguey mezcal

• 1 oz Triple Sec

• 1/2 oz fresh lime juice (up to 1 oz if you prefer more)
