The original margarita was allegedly made in the 1930s, named for the girlfriend of its LA-based creator, Johnny Durlesser. It rapidly became a classic, and we're not surprise – three ingredients make for a simple serve that's moreishly salty, zingy and sweet. Not to mention tequila is a one-way road to a good time...
Patrón Silver tequila is iconic. Made in the Mexican state of Jalisco, the spirit is made using 100% blue weber agave, fermented using pine oak tanks and distilled in small batches in copper stills – all at the hands of Patrón's skilled jimadors.
