ABOUT
Happy National Margarita Day (2/22)! This is what I’ll be making! What makes this drink is the regal shake (shaking with citrus peel). The orange peel oils are incorporated throughout the drink, complementing the citrus, sweet agave, and smoky mezcal. My partner doesn’t usually like mezcal, but after one sip, he took it from me. Cheers y’all!
