Vino Orancio Margarita

Vino Orancio Margarita is a deeply complex, bittersweet riff on the classic sour that brilliantly bridges the gap between Mexico and Italy. It expertly layers an earthy, robust split base of smoky mezcal and crisp blanco tequila with the rich, citrus-driven botanical notes of Savoia Orancio aperitivo. Shaken with fresh lime juice, a touch of sweet agave syrup, and a drop of saline to enhance the flavors, this sophisticated sipper is served over ice in an Old-Fashioned glass and elegantly finished with a classic salt rim and a simple lime wedge.

Ingredients:

• 22.5 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 22.5 ml Patrón Silver blanco tequila

• 22.5 ml Savoia Orancio

• 22.5 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

• 7.5 ml Agave syrup (agave nectar)

• 3 drops of saline solution (20g sea salt to 80g water) or a mere pinch of salt

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill an old-fashioned glass.

• Prepare garnish of salt rim (optional) & lime wedge.

• Shake all ingredients with ice.

• Strain into an ice-filled glass.
