The Margarita has been a part of North American drinking culture for around 75 years, and in that time there have been plenty of variations on the classic cocktail. From frozen to flavored to sober AF, there is no shortage of riffs out there. Even Paul McCartney has a recipe!
Even with all those options, we wanted to put a KegWorks spin on this staple drink. We took a look at some of our more unique cocktail ingredients, and came up with some non-traditional Margaritas that are perfect for Cinco de Mayo or the next time you throw a fiesta.
