The Story Behind The Blanco Margarita
The ultimate warm-weather refreshment, the Blanco Margarita proves that simple is always best. Made with Don Julio Blanco, lime juice, and lightly sweetened with agave syrup, the mixture is shaken over ice and strained into a rocks glass. While this recipe lacks the orange liqueur often found in Margaritas, fresh citrus and agave are all that this superior Blanco needs.
