Classic Skinny Margarita
Three ingredients, more lime than most, and nothing to hide behind. Cutting the liqueur out takes the sweetness with it, which leaves the tequila carrying the whole drink.

Panel note
An ounce and a half of lime is a lot of acid with no liqueur to cushion it, so this is the spec that exposes a rough bottle. Pour something you would drink neat.
