"Made with a blend of blanco tequila, orange liqueur, lemon and lime juice, the Classic Margarita from On The Border was expertly crafted and each element was delicious in its own right. Blanco tequila is the one of the best types of tequila for a margarita since it's the youngest of the bunch and packs a nice, alcoholic punch with vegetal agave notes that combine well with the sweet, tart flavors of the citrusy ingredients. The brand of tequila used is Pueblo Viejo 104, whose blanco tequila offered the perfect flavor profile for a classic margarita, with hints of bright citrus and a peppery finish."
"The house-made lemon and lime sour mix was also delightfully acidic to balance the sweetness from the simple syrup. The not-too-sweet mix even complemented and enhanced the citrus flavors of the orange liqueur beautifully. Our taste tester sampled the margarita (which is served in a goblet) on the rocks. As per our reviewer, the bartender sure knew what they were doing, because the drink was perfectly shaken to create an evenly blended, froth-topped cocktail bursting with zesty, tart, sweet, and spicy flavors."
"On the Border received an average ranking in our review of Mexican chain restaurants. To that effect, the chain has faced struggles with bankruptcy, but is still hanging on - and we theorize it might be thanks to the chain's Classic Margarita. Customer reviews for the margarita are very complimentary. One patron on Facebook proclaimed, "So sitting here at On the""
Chili’s and Applebee’s offer Tex-Mex meal deals with chips, salsa, and margaritas, but On the Border’s margarita ranked highest in a chain comparison. The Classic Margarita is made with a blend of blanco tequila, orange liqueur, lemon and lime juice, and a house-made sour mix balanced with simple syrup. Blanco tequila provides a strong, vegetal agave character that pairs with sweet and tart citrus flavors. The specific tequila used, Pueblo Viejo 104, adds bright citrus notes and a peppery finish. The drink is served on the rocks in a goblet and is shaken to produce an evenly blended, froth-topped cocktail with zesty, tart, sweet, and spicy flavors. Customer feedback is highly positive.
