La Marguerite
By May 6, 2020
In the US, few remember that Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico’s victory over the French - I think that Empress Carlotta escaped, but Maximillian was lined up and shot at Puebla - so there is some irony in David Lebovitz’s French take on Mexico’s national drink, the Margarita. The use of the Bordeaux-based orange-infused aperitif Lillet makes this a much lighter alternative to the traditional Margarita but equally as delicious!
- Prep: 5 mins
- Yields: Makes 1 cocktail
Directions
1Add the Lillet, tequila, and orange juice to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain into a chilled couple glass or into a short tumbler or rocks glass over ice. Garnish with the citrus wheel half.
