Tequila-based cocktail (9)

I believe the answer is:

margarita

'tequila-based cocktail' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for margarita that I've seen before include "Type of tequila cocktail" , "Cocktail consisting of tequila and lemon juice" , "Tequila and lime cocktail" , "Tequila-based cocktail" , "Stiff drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald.
