The All American Margarita — Your New Summertime MVP

When Michael Evans Behling pulled up for our latest episode, we had to mix up something special—something that nods to his Indiana upbringing but with a fresh, Hollywood twist. Meet The All American Margarita, our remix of the classic Midwest tequila lemonade.

It's bright, easy-drinking, and packs just the right amount of punch. Whether you're kicking back poolside or just hanging with friends, this marg is your new go-to.

Here’s what you need:

• 2 oz Tequila

• 2 oz Lemonade

• ½ oz Grand Marnier

• ½ oz Lime Juice

• ¼ oz Agave

• 1 oz Water

• Lemon Slice & Fresh Mint (for garnish)

• Optional: Tajin (to rim the glass)

How to make it:

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add tequila, lemonade, lime juice, Grand Marnier, agave, and water. Shake until ice-cold.

2. Fill a glass with ice and pour shaker contents over it.

3. Top off with a splash of ginger ale and gently stir.

4. Garnish with a lemon slice and fresh mint to level up your marg game.

Serving tip

• Want a little extra kick? Rim your glass with Tajin for that perfect blend of zest and spice. Grab your shaker, neighbors—it’s marg time.
