The margarita is one of the most popular tequila-based cocktails. The Skinny Rosa Margarita is a refreshing cocktail created by Código 1530, featuring their Rosa tequila. One flavour element of the Código 1530 Rosa tequila is citrus, which is emphasised with the inclusion of fresh lime and orange juice. The drink is topped up with club soda, which provides a fresh and slightly salty taste, very typical of a classic margarita. Furthermore, adding salt on the rim of the glass will amplify the fresh lime juice and ease the tequila’s sharpness.

The Skinny Rosa Margarita scores a difficulty of 4/10. The ingredients included are basic and easy to acquire. However, the addition of a salted rim results in an extra step and a new technique for those beginning their cocktail journey.
