    .
    Don Alejandro Blanco Tequila with a 40% abv & falls under the classification of ‘Mixto tequila’ which requires minimum 51% agave. This one  comes with 75% Agave. With subtle vegetal elements, white pepper, floral aroma & vanilla flavour it is a good selection  for margaritas more coz of  it’s 75%Agave profile
    .
    Jack Daniel Whiskey from Tennessee with a mashbill of 80% corn, 12% rye, 8% malt is a spirit which is filtered through sugar maple charcoal to produce a mellow slightly smoky character. At 40%abv , it’s mellow smoky character fits in right as a floater to finish the cocktail. Simply amazing 🥃

    Cointreau with 40% abv a well known liqueur to several well-known cocktails. It was originally called “Curaçao Blanco Triple Sec”. A must for classic margaritas 🥂
    .
    Jamun is a berry type fruit from tropical evergreen tree which comes with a taste profile that is a combination of sweet, mildly sour and astringent flavour. It goes great with salt. Being a seasonal fruit, I thought to give it a try in my drink. With few slits, the fruit went in the drink leaving it’s sweet & sour flavour to the drink Check out pic 4 of the image slide

    Margarita is often hailed as the quintessential “Mexican” cocktail.
    Carlos “Danny” Herrera, owner of Tijuana restaurant Rancho La Gloria, claims he invented the drink in 1938. .
    Dallas socialite Margarita Sames insisted that she concocted the drink for a group of her friends while vacationing in Acapulco in 1948.
    .
    Story also goes that in 1941, bartender Don Carlos Orozco was tending bar in Ensenada, Mexico. While, he was futzing around making cocktails, Margarita Henkel, daughter of a German ambassador, walked into his bar. He allowed her to taste his experiment and coined the drink in her honor.
    .
    Danny Negrete is also named as inventor of the drink. Apparently, the cocktail was a wedding gift for his sister-in-law, yep another Margarita, bestowed upon her at the Garci Crespo Hotel. Interestingly enough, Negrete worked at Agua Cliente Race Track, where starlet Margarita Cansino (you might know her as Rita Hayworth) would often perform.
    .
    However the margarita may not be named after a beautiful woman at all, but instead may just be a variation of another cocktail that was popular during Prohibition: the Daisy. In fact, margarita means “daisy” in Spanish. The only difference between the Daisy and the margarita is that the former was made with brandy and the latter with tequila.
