I just moved. One of my happy chores on the long to do list was to create a magic hour cocktail for the new home. This is it — Margarita de la Casa.
This drink was inspired by a recipe in the Washington Post by J. Wilson.
Remember the Harvey Wallbanger? Yes, I am dating myself, but the Hill team still loves them.
My house margarita is similar to that old favorite. Since I now have an orange and lime tree, I adapted this sunset summer sip.
