Margarita

If we say that we love the Margarita here at The Mixer, that would be a lie. Because we are obsessed, and so is the rest of the world. This classic cocktail shot to fame in the 60s and has been enjoyed ever since. 

The first one on the scene was the iconic Lime Margarita. This legendary drink created a canvas for many other Margarita creations—all featured here, so jump into the pitcher and find your flavor. 

And always remember the cardinal rule of Margaritas, which is to make them sweet, sour and strong. It might sound like a tall order for a simple drink, but stick with us for all the tips and tricks you need to become a pro in no time.
