Ruby Red Margarita

Ruby Red Margarita is a visually stunning, deeply flavorful twist on the classic margarita that crowns the bright citrus of tequila with a red wine float. It combines a premium blanco tequila—often from Don Julio or Casamigos—with fresh, tart lime juice and a touch of sweet agave or orange liqueur. Shaken with ice and strained into a rocks glass, the magic happens at the end when a splash of fruity red wine is gently layered over the top. This creates a striking, ruby-red halo that adds a dry, berry-rich complexity to the crisp and refreshing agave base.
