VIA CAROTA CLASSIC MARGARITA

New York's West Village has produced one of the city's most-imitated restaurant bar programs, and Via Carota — the Grove Street trattoria opened in 2014 by James Beard Award–winning chefs Jody Williams and Rita Sodi — bottles it directly. Their Classic Margarita is an agave-based RTD built on tequila and a citrus blend of lime, lemon, and orange, with no sugar added. At 18% ABV, it comes pre-diluted in a 375ml bottle that pours four drinks. Nose is zesty citrus; the palate delivers minerality and crisp acidity; the finish is clean with lingering citrus brightness.
