Ingredients: 45 ml Patrón Silver blanco tequila; 22.5 ml Triple sec liqueur; 22.5 ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed); 5 ml Difford's Falernum liqueur; 5 ml Agave syrup; Saline solution; Lime wedge; Salt rim

Using lemon juice in place of lime gives this Margarita a softer, rounder acidity that lets the falernum's spice and ginger notes step forward rather than compete with lime's sharper edge.

From the Bartender

Using lemon juice in place of lime gives this Margarita a softer, rounder acidity that lets the falernum's spice and ginger notes step forward rather than compete with lime's sharper edge. The three drops of saline solution are a small but meaningful addition - salt amplifies sweetness and rounds out citrus without tasting salty.
