What is the base of Saltgrass’s signature Margarita?

The signature Margarita at Saltgrass is a classic cocktail that traditionally features tequila as the main spirit, paired with lime juice to create its distinctive tart flavor. Tequila, which is made from the blue agave plant, serves as the foundation of this drink, giving it a characteristic profile and making it instantly recognizable as a Margarita. Lime juice adds acidity and brightness, balancing the sweetness and flavor of the tequila.

The other options suggest combinations of spirits and mixers that do not align with the traditional Margarita's composition. Cognac and orange juice form a completely different cocktail; vodka and cranberry juice are usually used in drinks like the Cosmopolitan; and rum and pineapple juice would suggest a tropical drink rather than the classic Margarita. Therefore, the choice of tequila and lime juice accurately reflects Saltgrass's signature Margarita recipe.
