Mark's Magical Margarita
The bright tang of fresh citrus meets smooth tequila in this perfectly balanced margarita, rimmed with coarse salt that adds just the right mineral bite. Mark perfected this recipe during our sunset gatherings on the terrace, where the golden hour calls for something equally magical.
