Classic Shaken Margarita

Our shaken margarita offers a well-balanced combination of sweet, sour, salty, and bitter flavors. Believed to have originated in Mexico, the classic margarita consists of tequila, triple sec, and lime juice, but many flavor variations of this drink have emerged over the years. This drink is often served with salt on the rim of the glass.
