ABOUT
This margarita riff was created in 2015 by Dylan O'Brien (@beardedbarman) at his bar Prizefighter (Emeryville, CA). Montenegro adds a bittersweet pop of orange, spice, and florals that smooths out the tart lime and aged tequila. I added saline to the drink, but a salted rim is traditional. Cheers y’all!
