A luxurious twist on the classic Margarita
The Grand Margarita is an exclusive take on the classic Margarita, made with Grand Marnier, a high-quality orange liqueur, instead of the traditional triple sec. This gives the drink a more complex and sophisticated flavor profile. It combines tequila, lime juice, Grand Marnier and agave syrup to create a fresh, tart and sweet cocktail. The Grand Margarita is perfect for special occasions or when you want an upgraded version of a classic.
