Victory Lap Margarita

This citrusy summer cocktail was made just for Indianapolis based on trend data from Foursquare, social media and Cocktail Lab to give locals the fastest way to a good time. To make it a clear winner for Indianapolis, it incorporates lime juice and Patrón Citrónge Orange, sparkling wine, and the agave syrup found in the margarita mix of a Refined Janet Gunthrie – a cocktail made to commemorate the first time a woman qualified to race in the Indy 500.
