Australia has unique finger-shaped limes with caviar-like flesh. These are exported all over the world. Once squeezed out, the flesh makes a great topping for this classic margarita.
Made with fresh lime and lots of ice this cocktail is great on a hot day and adds that cooling chill of crushed ice. It’s a grownup slushy of sorts!
