Whiskey Margarita

Who says you can’t make a Margarita with whiskey? Here, the classic beachside sipper gets tricked out with Bulleit Rye, which delivers notes of fruit and butterscotch followed by a peppery finish, and the sweet, vanilla-forward Licor 43. Fresh orange and lemon juices help dial up the flavor to 11 on this variation, which may forever alter your perception of the perfect margarita cocktail.
