There’s nothing wrong with a classic margarita. It’s an easy crowd pleaser on taco Tuesday. But if you’re looking to switch things up, we’ve got a great option for you.

A recent addition to our set is Paladin Agricanto, an Italian cherry-almond liqueur made from Raboso wine. It’s a delight on its own over ice or as a substitute for red vermouth in cocktails. It’s fruity cherry flavor also pairs perfectly with fresh squeezed lime and reposado tequila.

Think of this cherry margarita as cherry juice for adults. It’s rich and satisfying to sip. We recommend skipping the salt rim on this cocktail—it’s got enough going on as it is. But hey, you do you.
