Agave Margarita
The Agave Margarita brings a touch of sophistication to the beloved classic by swapping out the traditional sweetener for agave nectar. This variation accentuates the bright and tangy flavors of tequila and lime with the smooth, slightly earthy sweetness of agave. The result is a Margarita that offers a more nuanced and refined sweetness, creating a balanced and delightful drinking experience. Served over ice or chilled, this cocktail provides a refreshing twist on a time-honored favorite.
