MANGO MARGARITA

MANGO MARGARITA’S HISTORY:
A TROPICAL TWIST
A sun-drenched spin on a Mexican icon. Built on Margarita’s timeless trio: tequila, lime and Triple Sec. While the original dates back to the 1930s and ‘40s, the mango variation came later – as tropical flavours found their way behind the bar.
The Mango Margarita carved out its place as a holiday essential. Beach bars to rooftop terraces, it’s always brought the juice.
Ours though? Keeps things true to its roots.
A sweet twist on a Cuban classic. Born from the classic Daiquiri’s simple trio: rum, lime, and sugar. While the traditional serve dates back to the late 1800s in the mining town of Daiquirí, the strawberry version found its stride much later. Rising to fame in mid-20th century America – in its frozen form, blenders found their way into bars. It quickly became a warm-weather staple from beach resorts to backyard parties.
Ours is fresh. Staying true to its classic roots.
COCKTAIL CURIOUSITIES:
A CHERISHED SUNSHOW
Margaritas hold their ground as one of the UK’s most-loved cocktails. And mango? It’s the smooth operator of the fruit world. Naturally rich, naturally sweet.
Ours steps away from predictable fruity cocktail clichés. Real mango juice. Zesty lime. And premium tequila that’s clear as Cancún skies.
Fun fact: mangoes are so beloved in parts of South Asia, they’re often the subject of poetry. An everlasting muse.
