Happy National Margarita Day |
2022 |
 |
Cointreau and margaritas have always gone hand in hand.
Did you know that the Original Margarita was created when Dallas socialite Margaret Sames mixed her two favorite spirits, Cointreau and tequila, with lime juice while on vacation in Acapulco back in 1948? This classic recipe has stood the test of over 70 years’ time.
To celebrate this powerful partnership, we’ve teamed up with Cointreau and asked 10 of our favourite places for margaritas – from restaurants and bars to market stalls and award winning locals – to create a bespoke margarita for us. These will all be available in their venues for one week (from today until 23 Feb) in celebration of National Margarita Day (22 Feb).
Creations include ingredients like black sesame agave (Blue Bar) and chilli brine (Tacos Padre), orange marmalade (Side Hustle), rhubarb and orange syrup (Hacha), and yerba mate (Abajo).
10 venues, 10 bespoke margaritas
with a margarita map to guide you around.
And, as it’s an extremely edited list – the best! – one week should be just enough time to taste them all.
We hope you enjoy these creative concoctions and standout venues as much as we do.
Salut!

|  | | | Apricot Games | | By Giulia Cuccurullo, Head Bartender
“This is a delicious, fresh and fruity margarita, with the dusty rim balancing the sourness. I’ve used orange, apple and apricot to remind you of a cake.”

|  | | | | | Rosemary and Rhubarb Margarita | | By Deano Moncrieffe, Proprietor
“The herbaceous rosemary notes work perfectly with the sharp, bittersweet flavours of rhubarb and your choice of tequila or mezcal. Underpinning all the flavours of this delicious cocktail are the zesty orange and sweet warm spices of Cointreau.”

|  | | | Margarita Tereré | | By Tato Giovannoni, Executive
Bartender
“The Margarita Tereré is inspired by our roots. Tereré is an infusion of yerba mate tea, a popular drink originating from Argentina. It’s refreshing, with a hint of savoury notes with the classic staples of a margarita.”

|  | | | | | El Maestro | | By Pietro Collina, Head of Bars at NoMad London
“This drink is a very loose interpretation of the Breakfast Martini, which hits all of those vibrant citrus notes, especially with the inclusion of fresh grapefruit and orange marmalade. I think it’s a great cocktail to celebrate brunch; it’s light and makes for very easy drinking.”
