Notes:

• Tequila Choice: Reposado tequila can add a smoother, slightly aged flavor that complements the honey nicely.

This Honey Margarita is a unique twist on the classic, perfect for those who enjoy a touch of sweetness and complexity in their cocktails. The Double Barrel Honey adds a depth of flavor that's sure to impress!
