If you and your girls are into margs, Josh Capon’s classic recipe will hit the spot.
Tip: In any cocktail that features liquor, quality matters. You don’t want to have to keep adding ingredients to mask the taste of the liquor; instead you want a mellow flavor that will complement the other ingredients.
