About the Cocktail
The Ledges Margarita Cocktail is one of those timeless classics that somehow feels brand new when Joey Connor teaches it. During the July 2026 Mixology “Barrel & Glass” class, this margarita became one of the stars of the evening — bright, citrusy, layered, and just indulgent enough with its duo of orange liqueurs. Joey’s choice of Altos Tequila and Grand Marnier gave the drink a deeper, more elegant profile, and yes … both bottles were promptly added to the Sipping Room after class. The empanada pairing from the Ledges chef didn’t hurt either; it elevated the margarita from “fun cocktail” to “full experience.”
His Take:
A margarita that doesn’t mess around — balanced, bold, and exactly what you want after a long week.
Her Take:
Smooth, citrus-forward, and delightfully easy to sip. It’s the kind of margarita that makes you smile before the first taste.
The Good Life:
This cocktail fits right in — simple ingredients, elevated flavors, and a moment worth savoring. It’s the kind of drink that turns an ordinary evening into a memory.
