Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a margarita and a paloma?
A margarita is a cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and a mixer or liqueur like triple sec. A paloma is also a tequila-based drink, but it is typically made with grapefruit soda or a grapefruit mixer. Both are popular Mexican cocktails, but a margarita is known for its lime-forward, tart taste, while a paloma has a refreshing, slightly sweeter grapefruit flavor.
Can I make a margarita without tequila?
Yes, you can. While tequila is traditional, you can substitute it with a high-quality, non-alcoholic spirit for a delicious mocktail. You can also make a margarita "on the rocks" with just the mixer and a lot of ice for a refreshing beverage.
What is a black lime?
A black lime, also known as a dried lime, is a lime that has been dried in the sun. This process gives it a dark color and a distinct, smoky flavor that's common in Middle Eastern cuisine. It provides a deeper and more savory citrus note than fresh lime juice.
