Key Lime Margaritas
July 30, 2024
Key limes, more aromatic than regular limes and known for their distinctive tart juice, add a punch of flavor to this cocktail. This recipe also calls for reposado tequila, which is aged in wooden barrels, where it develops a mellower flavor and amber color. A regular tequila would work fine as well.
