The Unusual Swap Gordon Ramsay Makes In His Go-To Margarita
NEWS
By MATTHEW LEE
Gordon Ramsay had the right idea when he decided to change his margarita up a little to get a brand-new flavor. Instead of tequila, he swapped it out with mezcal.
It calls for 50 milliliters of mezcal, 25 milliliters of lime juice, and 15 milliliters of agave juice. You can find the intriguing recipe on
his restaurant's website.
Unlike the smoothness of tequila, mezcal imparts a smokier, more complex taste to the drink, thanks to the unique baking step in its production process (which tequila doesn't undergo).
This extra element completely transforms the cocktail's flavor profile, resulting in a surprising sip that'll give you pause when you try it for the first time.
