Recipe Note
The key to a perfect margarita is using fresh lime juice and quality ingredients. The crunchy Isle of Skye Sea Salt on the rim provides a delicate texture and enhances the drink's flavours beautifully. For a more unique taste, you can also try using our Smoked Sea Salt on the rim. The seaweed adds a subtle twist while maintaining the drink's classic appeal.
