Jose Cuervo Golden Margarita (175cl, 12.7%)

A ready-to-serve margarita blending Jose Cuervo Gold tequila, Grand Marnier liqueur and lime at 12.7% ABV, in a 1.75 litre bottle. The inclusion of Grand Marnier sets it apart from most premixed margaritas that rely on simpler triple sec or artificial orange flavouring. Tequila Cuervo La Rojeña, founded in 1795 in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico, produces the Gold tequila base. The aroma brings light floral orange blossom, lime zest and a subtle undercurrent of golden tequila. The palate moves from tart key lime and custardy lemon into agave and orange-cognac richness. The finish is moderate, with tequila warmth and sweet orange lingering. Serve straight from the bottle over ice in a salt-rimmed glass.
