(Mother's Ruin)
Served at Mother's Ruin bar in New York City, this twist on a traditional margarita delivers a powerful fresh and herbal punch courtesy of cucumber and mint. The unaged tequila reinforces the green flavors and packs a hell of a wallop along the way. Even better – no food coloring is required to get a gorgeous green color that leaves little doubt what you're celebrating.
