Añejo Margarita
A spirit-forward margarita with the mellow depth of aged tequila, bright lime acidity, and orange liqueur sweetness. The salted rim sharpens the drink and makes it feel crisp despite its richer profile.

Cook Notes Summary
The drink was a success overall, with the swap to agave syrup working well and preserving the cocktail’s balance. No problems were reported, so the main takeaway is that agave can be used effectively here; next time, you could keep that substitution or fine-tune sweetness to taste if you want a slightly different finish.
