A sour cocktail whose sweetness is derived in part from a liqueur rather than simple syrup is classified as a "daisy". The Margarita - whose name translates to "daisy" in English" - serves as a perfect example of this kind of drink.

Here, we split the typical base of tequila, sharing some of its real estate with mezcal, which imparts a smoky complexity we enjoy.

It can be difficult to draw a perfectly-seasoned sip from a salt-rimmed glass of Margarita - one tends to end up getting either too much or too little salt in each mouthful. A simple fix for this is to add a small pinch of salt to the drink before mixing it.
