Bored with the classic Margarita? Does that sour pucker of fresh lime make your mouth feel like you’ve eaten an entire box of Sour Patch Kids? Meet the Margarita’s easy going cousin, the Baja Gold. The drink swaps out lime juice for fresh pineapple juice and uses a reposado tequila instead of a blanco tequila for added depth.
