The Margarita

Jesse Estes is one of the world’s leading tequila experts. As well as a London-based bartender and author he is a brand ambassador for Tequila Ocho that has spent years learning about the spirit. Here he gives us his take on the fabled story of the Margarita, a drink that’s drenched in mystery.
This storytelling goes hand in hand with a classic cocktail, and while there isn’t always time to regale the customers with tall tales, every now and then, a bit of historical context can make a drink more compelling when introduced for the first time.

How to Create a Classic

There are no hard and fast rules to what makes a classic cocktail, unfortunately. You could argue that to earn ‘classic’ status, a cocktail needs to be on menus for a significant amount of time. But then, if you create an overnight success and it evaporates a year later, it can never earn the all-important mantel of ‘classic’. True classics have been around for decades, and so chances are, you may not live long enough to enjoy your own success.

Incredibly, it’s been nearly twenty years since he opened the beloved and much-missed LAB Bar (London Academy of Bartenders) in Soho, but its legendary legacy – and his – lives on.

The 'Spicy Marg' (if you want to be basic) is a twist that more than earns it's keep. Just make sure you wash those hands before AND after... If your bar menu includes any tasty Mexican snacks, get this on your list. Enjoy responsibly and thanks @Patron  https://t.co/mXDhMLxzC8
