The dark chocolate flavor comes from rich Mozart Dark Chocolate Liqueur, which adds depth and elegance without overpowering the margarita’s signature citrusy zing. Combined with a touch of cinnamon and a splash of cream, it’s basically a dessert and a cocktail rolled into one refreshing glass. And because it’s gluten-free, you can enjoy it without worry.
