Yana Volfson’s Margarita

Yana Volfson | New York City

Cocktail illo

Though Yana Volfson’s go-to Margarita calls for Casa Dragones blanco tequila, which typically retails for more than $50, this version, which took third place in our 2024 Margarita tasting, calls on the more affordable Tapatío 110 alongside a split measure of orange liqueur and lime juice for an exceptional take on the classic Marg.
