Italian Margarita

Ok, ok, I know… I’ve been giving you guys way too many margaritas but this one is with a twist. An Italian twist which is the best kind if you ask me. This cocktail has everything a standard margarita has with a little sweet nuttiness added from the amaretto. I’m pretty sure the first time I tasted an Italian Margarita was at some chain Italian restaurant in college and while the food may have not been impressive I remember loving this drink. It’s definitely a 2 drink max for me because it’s on the sweeter side but that being said it could be the perfect cocktail for your next summer brunch date.
