The Reposado Margarita keeps the classic lime and orange-liqueur balance while using lightly aged tequila. Oak and vanilla soften the edges without burying agave. It sits between blanco brightness and añejo richness.

Bartender's Note
Choose a reposado with restrained oak so the drink stays a margarita, not an Old Fashioned with lime.
