Patrón Tequila got an early start on World Margarita Day last night, kicking off global festivities in Sydney at Bondi’s The Bucket List.
The venue was transformed into a Patrón tequila home, complete with signature glassware and mixology flair.
Three cocktails were served: Patrón Classic Margarita, Patrón Jalapeno Margarita and Patrón Lychee Margarita. They were matched with delicious Mexican food including soft tacos and ceviche.
World Margarita Day is celebrated every year on February 22. The first margarita is said to have been created in 1938 by Carlos ‘Danny’ Herrera, who hoped to impress a showgirl named Marjorie King with the concoction.
And it’s never looked back! Recent analysis of on-premise cocktail consumption by Nielsen CGA has found that four of the top five best-selling cocktails across the United States start with the letter “M,” with margaritas topping the list.
They are:
