This season, elevate your Cinco de Mayo celebration with the Grand Margarita.
The Grand Margarita puts an elevated spin on this classic cocktail by swapping out orange-flavoured liqueur for Grand Marnier.
This highly refreshing cocktail pairs sour lime and earthy tequila notes, with Grand Marnier’s cognac and bitter orange flavour adding a refined smoothness and a heightened drinking experience.
