Vampyre Tequila And The Devil's Margarita
The Devilās Margarita š„
One of our go-to cocktails. Bold, refreshing, and just a little dangerous. The Devil's Margarita is a modern cocktail twist on the classic margarita, famous for its striking appearance: a standard lime margarita topped with a distinct, floating layer of red wine.

Key Ingredients
- Vampyre Plata (Silver) Tequila: The base spirit.
- Fresh Lime Juice: For the sour element.
- Simple Syrup: To sweeten (often used instead of orange liqueur to let the wine stand out, though some recipes include both).
- Fangria Sangria (To get the perfect layer, hold a bar spoon upside down just above the surface and pour slowly.)
- Garnish: Lime wheel.Ā
