National Margarita Day is a day dedicated to celebrating the beloved margarita, a cocktail that has won the hearts of many around the world. The Origin is a Mystery The exact origin of the Margarita is shrouded in mystery, with several bartenders across Mexico and the United States claiming to have invented it in the 1930s and 1940s. One popular story credits Carlos "Danny" Herrera at his restaurant Rancho La Gloria, halfway between Tijuana and Rosarito, Mexico, for creating the drink for dancer Marjorie King in 1938. The Classic Recipe The classic Margarita recipe is a simple yet perfect blend of tequila, lime juice, and Cointreau or triple sec, often served with salt on the rim of the glass. Over the years, this traditional recipe has been the foundation for countless variations, incorporating a wide range of flavors and ingredients. A Record-Breaking Cocktail: The world's largest Margarita was created in 2011 at the Margaritaville Casino in Las Vegas. This gigantic cocktail was made in a 17-foot-tall tank and contained over 8,500 gallons of liquid, earning it a place in the Guinness World Records. Margarita Means Daisy in Spanish The word "Margarita" is Spanish for "daisy." The Margarita cocktail is believed to be a variation on the Daisy, a cocktail that became popular in the early 20th century, which was traditionally made with brandy, citrus juice, and a sweetener. The Margarita essentially substitutes tequila for brandy, offering a Mexican twist to an old favorite. #NationalMargaritaDay

Are you ready to showcase the best of what your distillery has to offer? We're thrilled to announce the Tequila Mezcal Challenge, a unique opportunity to put your spirits in the spotlight! In the world of spirits, few debates stir as much passion as Tequila vs. Mezcal. Both distilled from the agave plant, these Mexican spirits share roots but differ in flavor, production, and tradition. 🔥 Tequila is known for its smooth, often sweet profile, perfect for sipping or mixing in cocktails. It’s usually made from blue agave and cooked in industrial ovens, giving it that clean, crisp taste. 🌪️ Mezcal, on the other hand, embraces its rustic origins. Produced using various agave species and roasted in underground pits, Mezcal has a smoky, earthy flavor that makes it stand out. 💡 The Challenge: Tequila Lovers: Sip on a highland or lowland tequila and appreciate its nuanced citrusy, herbal notes. Mezcal Aficionados: Savor the complexity of a well-crafted mezcal—each sip tells a story of artisanal methods and ancestral traditions. The real question is—can you choose a favorite? Or do both have a place in your spirits collection? 🤔 Whether you're a Tequila loyalist or a Mezcal adventurer, the key is to savor the experience and respect the craftsmanship that goes into each bottle. Let's raise a glass to the diversity of agave spirits! 🥂 #Tequila #Mezcal #Spirits #Agave #Cocktails #DrinkTrends #CraftSpirits #MexicanHeritage

January Flavour of the Month: Cosmopolitan 🍸🍊 Gary Regan author of The Joy of Mixology said, “The cosmopolitan is the last true classic cocktail to be born in the twentieth century”. While the origins of the Cosmopolitan remain shrouded in debate, the consensus places its emergence on the vibrant atmosphere of the 1980s or early 1990s. This era was marked by a cultural shift, and the Cosmopolitan became a symbolic cocktail, embodying a cosmopolitan and sophisticated lifestyle. A classic Cosmopolitan recipe typically includes vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice. Traditionally served in a martini glass and often garnished with a twist of orange peel. It is an enduring drink that is still just as popular today as ever before; not just as an alcoholic beverage in bars and restaurants, but in the no and low, ready-to-drink market too. Our top note flavour is characterised by a harmonious combination of tart cranberry, zesty orange, and a hint of lime, creating a well-balanced and refreshing experience. Available alcohol-free and reminiscent of the classic, our cosmopolitan flavour is an ideal choice for dry January.
