The glass
Serve this one in a margarita glass. The Margarita glass is a variant of the classic coupe glass that is typically used to serve Margaritas. It features a small, secondary bowl in the center that gives it a little extra volume and some aesthetic flair.
Did you know
Created by Cara & Andrew Fernandes, a Dad & Daughter Duo from India. This twist to the regular Margarita is sweet, refreshing, and cherrylicious -- and the sea salt (in place of regular salt) is crunchy and a recommended substitute. The cherry cuts the lime which in turn accentuates the cherry. (And the agave is required because the cherry isn't all that sweet.) I promise you, it's a very smooth drink, with a comfortable buzz!
