Margarita is a beloved tequila classic with countless number of riffs taking it into wildly different directions. Bon Soiree is a spicy, savoury interpretation of this renowned cocktail. Relatively simple, but deliciously unique take.

Base of the cocktail remains true to the original with strong vegetal agave note filled tequila blanco. A few dashes of vinegar forward hot sauce bring savoury element to the cocktail, which is then masterfully combined with a touch of salinity. Traditional lime juice pairing gives a refreshingly tart kick brightening up the drink and together with fruity, floral flavour profile of Lillet Blanc balancing the salty and savoury elements. Last but not least, Tajin seasoning around the rim creates an opportunity for the drinker to further tweak the balance between sweet, salty and spicy.

All in all, Bon Soiree is a remarkably delicious and subtle variation on the classic margarita, not veering too much from the beloved original, but tweaking it just enough to create a new and unique cocktail experience.
