History

The citrus juice was not split, to also bring lemon or even pink grapefruit juice into this cocktail, as the recipe above was so tasty.

Simon Day, a fellow Discerning Drinker, created this recipe in February 2023 and shared it as a comment on the Margarita on-the-rocks page. Day stated, "Quite excellent." The recipe was adapted by splitting the tequila base and slightly increasing the volumes.
