I love a good fresh lime margarita. It’s that combination of bright citrusy lime, the salty rim, and a good quality tequila that makes this drink such a treat, it’s a vacation in a glass. Good tequila is an important part of making a delicious margarita, something smooth and well-balanced can make all the difference. A straight shot of tequila is one risk that I’ll leave to my younger years. These days, I enjoy my tequila in a mixed drink or in my cheesecake.
