Gay Water-ita

Let’s be real: the Margarita has been sashaying around the cocktail scene long enough to earn its rainbow stripes. With its zest for life, a penchant for dressing up in a salt rim, and a twist of lime that’s as flamboyant as it is essential, this cocktail is the life of any party.

why it works

a margarita is tequila, orange liqueur and lime. this version adds gay water lime on top, which does two things: it stretches the drink into something you can sip for a while, and it cuts the sweetness of the triple sec with bubbles and more lime. the salt rim is non-negotiable.
