What is a Margarita al Carbon?

A Margarita al Carbon is a visually stunning and deliciously unique cocktail that combines classic elements with a touch of innovation. LALO Tequila provides a smooth, robust foundation, while Cointreau adds a hint of citrus sweetness. Fresh lime juice brings a zesty brightness, complemented by the rich, caramel notes of maple syrup and a dash of orange bitters. The key feature of this cocktail is its unique charcoal element, activated charcoal, which gives it a striking, dark appearance—a nod to its name "al Carbon," meaning "from the coal."
