Grand Margarita

IBA

An elevated riff on the Margarita, this version substitutes triple sec for Grand Marnier, introducing a cognac-based depth that shifts the drink from bright and punchy to rich and layered. The orange liqueur's warmth rounds out the sharp lime acidity and underscores the agave character of blanco tequila.
