DeLeón’s take on the Margarita gets its refreshing flavor from muddled kumquats. “Citrus fruits are well known complements to Tequila drinks,” says Brent Hocking, founder and CEO of DeLeón Tequila. “The kumquat is rare, like DeLéon. We choose to be different.” When you get to the bottom of the drink, you can eat the tiny orange fruit—skin, seeds and all.
