This delicious twist on the classic margarita banishes the salt, but adds a red wine float for a dark and devilish look! And just like a New York Sour, a fruity, medium-bodied wine pairs well for a match made in heaven, or should I say, hell!
The Devil's Margarita
1-1/2 oz. Silver Tequila
3/4 oz. Lime juice
3/4 oz. Simple syrup (not agave)
1 oz. Red wine floater
3-4 pumps from a Mezcal atomizer

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!
Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
