Frozen, on the rocks or as it is, there’s only one way to toast the occasion, and that’s with an appetising margarita.
It’s National Margarita Day today (Monday, February 22 2021) and we’re celebrating the only way we know how – with freshly made ice cold margaritas later tonight, of course.
One of the most popular tequila-based cocktails, the margarita, can be served on the rocks, frozen, or straight up without any ice.
This recipe from the team at Mexican restaurant Topolabamba, which is based on Aberdeen’s Union Street, and also has premises in Glasgow and Edinburgh is a delicious drink with every margarita’s key ingredient, tequila.
Featuring fresh lime, gomme, a sweet grapefruit liqueur and Dobel Diamante tequila, the Paloma Rita Margarita is smooth and fruity all at the same time.
While the restaurant may not be open just now, we wanted to bring a slice of it to your homes… enjoy!
