The Margarita is deemed one of South Africa’s all-time favourite cocktails. It is super simple to make, refreshing, and versatile. As the world celebrated this most loved summer sipper during Margarita Day, PATRÓN Perfectionists national winner, Sabrina Traubner shared why this full-of-flavour cocktail remains a top-tier libation.

The Margarita can be served in a variety of ways, but the most classic way its known to be served is frozen. This sweet-sour blend mix is usually the first type of cocktail most of us start exploring with, and as we evolve and our drink curiosity grows, we then start to discover many variations of this drink, the type of glassware it is served in, as well as how premium ingredients can transform its taste.

According to the latest Bacardi Cocktail Trends Report, the Margarita is the 7th most sought-after cocktail in the world – frequently ordered and created globally by many. The history of the Margarita remains a mystery, though. Its origins in Mexico date back to 1936 – a drink that infuses the nation’s most popular spirit, tequila, salt, lime and a sweetener. These remain the four main components of the Margarita but can be spiced up to elevate the taste and the experience.

PATRÓN Tequila’s flavour profile has been consistent over the years. It is a handcrafted spirit, a production process that can be translated by many as the hard way – a journey PATRÓN never shies away from because the brand believes there are no shortcuts in pursuing perfection. The tequila-making process requires love, care, attention and patience, as the best flavours of this spirit develop slowly and naturally – ensuring perfection with every sip.

PATRÓN Tequila is versatile and comes in different age variants that can be infused with cocktails beyond just the Margarita. There’s the Paloma cocktail mixed with PATRÓN Reposado Tequila and the Jalisco Mule infused with PATRÓN Silver that one can easily make at home.
