FAQ'S

What kind of salt do you use for margaritas?
Steer clear of table (iodized) salt, which is much too salty for margaritas. Opt for coarse, large-granule salt that won't overwhelm the drink's sweet-and-sour flavour balance. Sea Salt is perfect!
What is the secret for a great margarita?
We think the secret is freshly squeezed lime juice (not the bottled stuff), which makes a cleaner tasting, more refreshing margarita.
