History:
Created in February 2023 by yours truly at the suggestion of Hunter Newsome, a fellow Discerning Drinker, commenting on our Margarita on-the-rocks page. As Hunter says, "I do think there is something to be said for the 'sports bar/backyard barbeque' Margarita that we all know or hate." "Essentially tequila limeade or tequila punch."

Review:
Being slightly dilute, faintly sweet, and topped with a thin foam are all essential components of a really good Trashy Margarita. This has all the good characteristics of a powdered sour-mix margarita but with fresh ingredients.
(There's no need to dry shake this cocktail as the egg white is included to round and add mouthfeel rather than to create a thick, frothy head. A good 'wet' shake should create enough foam.)
