Italian Amaretto Margarita FAQ

You can, but the sweetness of Rose’s adds a unique flavor profile to the drink. If you prefer a less sweet option, feel free to substitute with regular lime juice. - What’s the best type of tequila to use?
Bianco tequila works best for its smoothness and ability to blend well with the other ingredients. However, feel free to experiment with different types to find your perfect match! - Can I make this drink ahead of time for a party?
While it’s best served fresh, you can prepare the mix ahead of time and keep it chilled until you’re ready to serve. Just give it a quick shake before pouring over ice.
