About this Recipe

This is a smoky (and slightly oaky) take on a margarita, but it's not actually a margarita at all.
There's no tequila, only a little lime, and it's topped with soda... and it has bitters! But don't hate me, it's actually delicious.

And while it's fancier and more trendy to make it with simple syrup, I may or may not actually prefer it with Sprite Zero. It's quicker, easier, and has fewer calories. What's not to love?
