What is Golden-Rita?
The Golden-Rita is a fresh, modern riff on the margarita that brings together lush passionfruit liqueur, crisp citrus, and smooth blanco tequila. Its bright golden hue instantly calls to mind warm sunsets and ocean-cooled evenings, making it a natural choice for outdoor gatherings, poolside lounging, or festive dinners with friends. The addition of grapefruit gives this drink a stylish bittersweet edge, while lime and agave keep it grounded in classic margarita balance.
But where the Golden-Rita truly stands apart is in its complexity. Alizé Gold Passion adds tropical depth and silky body, turning each sip into a layered journey of sweet fruit and peppery tequila. A chili-salt rim punctuates everything with a subtle spark of heat - the perfect contrast to its juicy citrus core. One sip and it’s clear: this is a margarita with confidence and flair.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
