Olive Garden's signature margarita with Jose Cuervo Especial Silver tequila, triple sec and a topper of amaretto.
The Italian Margarita is Olive Garden’s best-selling cocktail. It is a classic margarita made with Jose Cuervo Especial Silver tequila and triple sec, finished with a float of amaretto, the sweet Italian almond liqueur, and served with orange and lime.
The amaretto gives it a nutty sweetness that sets it apart from a standard margarita. At participating restaurants it is often discounted during weekday happy hour.
