What Does A Kentucky Derby Herradura Horseshoe Margarita Taste Like?
The Herradura Horseshoe is a tangy tantalizing and refreshing twist on a classic margarita. The salty rim preps the taste buds for the combination of tangy lime mixed with the smooth Herradura tequila. A combo of tart and sweet YESNESS! Just when the top note makes you smile, you end the the flavor of the sweet agava goodness. REFRESHING!

Great for a margarita on the rocks or frozen, Herradura Silver is smooth with sweet agave and oak notes. This tequila spends 45 extra days beyond the industry standard in American White Oak barrels. Unique!
Can I Substitute Another Brand of Tequila?
Yes. Your favorite silver Tequila will do. I recommend the following.
