We have rated more than 150 margaritas across multiple states and countries.
We have never — not once — been served a margarita made with rum.
Until The Barge.
We stared at the glass. We stared at each other. Bourbon took a sip and confirmed what we already suspected.
Rum. Actual rum. In a margarita glass with a lime wedge, like nothing was wrong.
There are no scores for this one. You cannot rate what cannot be judged. A margarita made with rum is not a margarita. It is a mojito having an identity crisis.
We have no further comment.
