Golden Margarita

Category: Ready-to-Drink Cocktail

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 12.7%
Cloudy light golden green color. Aromas and flavors of lime, lemon, lemon salt, and white corn masa syrup with a glycerous, racy, off-dry medium-full body and a warming, long finish with notes of lime, sweet lemon and an orange twist, lime salt and herbs, and agave nectar. A tad sweet but a respectable and crushable Marg for on the go.
