According to The Spruce Eats, a classic golden margarita made with 80-proof tequila and 70-proof orange liqueur can contain an alcohol by volume (ABV) of around 20%, though this can vary significantly based on the specific recipe and ingredients used. This places it as a stronger cocktail than a standard margarita, largely due to the inclusion of premium aged tequila and higher-proof orange liqueurs like Grand Marnier.
