On The Rocks Hornitos The Margarita

This is On The Rocks' Margarita made with Hornitos Tequila, from the Dallas, Texas cocktail company owned by Suntory Global Spirits.

It's made with real spirit: Hornitos Plata tequila from 100% blue Weber agave, tart lime and triple sec, sweetened only with cane sugar. It's 20% alcohol, or 40 proof, and still rather than fizzy. A 2.5-ounce serving has 116 calories and 9.4g of carbohydrates.

Citrus comes first, and the agave gives the finish an herbal edge.

Next to On The Rocks Sparkling Lime Margarita, this bottle is still and twice as strong, 20% against 10%; for a spirit-forward margarita poured by the glass, choose the Hornitos Margarita.

Uncork it and pour it over ice with a lime slice. The bottle is shelf stable, so it can live in the cupboard until the party. For a restaurant-style drink, run a lime wedge around a rocks glass and dip the rim in salt before pouring.
