Basil & Citrus Dulce Leaf Margarita
The lemon and lime slices, basil leaves, and dulce leaves & buttons create a bright, refreshing citrus flavor with an intriguing herbaceous quality. The addition of club soda at the end of this cocktail adds an extra effervescent tingle. We recommend not salting the rim for this margarita so that the flavors really shine.
