The margarita is classic for a reason, with only three ingredients to remember and an optional salted rim, the tequila, orange liqueur and lime juice concoction is a recipe you’ll find hard to forget and one that is so easy to whip out on impromptu at your next BBQ. Like us, there are, however, times you want to shake things up and mess around with the classic, so to do this we enlisted four experts to help us with our cause. They’ve inspired us to step up our bar cart game, purchase a few new spirits we wouldn’t usually to shake up a classic Marg with a twist.
