Coming Up Daisies Recipe Remix

In Spanish, margarita means “daisy,” which explains the name of this stirred Margarita variation. “When I think about a Margarita, I think about a drink that is a balance of salty, acidic, sweet and spirituous,” Favre says. This version “hits all the same notes as a Margarita, but has a completely different texture.”
