The Story Behind The The Mango Basil Margarita

Americans drink a lot of Margaritas — it’s been our most popular national cocktail for the past two years.

And while we’d never turn down a classic, sometimes our eyes do wander. Enter this basil-scented Margarita from In Good Company Hospitality. It’s made with silver tequila, fresh lime, and a kicky mango puree spiked with vodka and lightly sweetened with agave.

Even popularity contests deserve a little friendly competition.
