Royal Velvet Margarita

The world of Margaritas is wide and vast, just when you think you have experienced your favourite version another pops up to change your mind. The Royal Velvet Margarita certainly gives other Margaritas a run for their money and has its own unique flavour that you will love. This delightful drink was first discovered in 2005 at Velvet Margarita Cantina in Los Angles , USA.

Its overall flavour is a very pleasant combination of berry and almond, of course this coming from the use of Black Raspberry Liqueur and Amaretto. It also has that little sour bite to it that you get from most Margaritas thanks to the Lime juice which is a regular feature in these drinks. The use of Reposado Tequila in this gives it a slightly different tone of oak and vanilla that you wouldn’t get with a Blanco Tequila.

If you love your Margaritas and are up for trying something different from the usual, then this is a winning choice. It stands out but will have a few flavours in it that you are use to, so it wont taste too alien. Give it a try !

Here is how it is made.
