Bourbon Margarita

I want to tell you all about a cool drink called the Bourbon Margarita. It’s like a regular margarita, but with a twist because we use bourbon instead of tequila. This mix gives it a smooth, sweet taste with a little bit of citrus kick from the lime. It’s perfect for when you want something refreshing but also with a rich flavor. Trust me, once you try it, it’ll become one of your favorites.
