CORZO’s Evolutionary Margarita – an inspired version of the Margarita created by renowned New York Mixologist Jonathan Pogash
With Cinco De Mayo already upon us, it’s time to start thinking Margaritas. Still the most popular mixed drink in the United States, the recipe has been around for years and continues to attract drinkers – especially on this famed Mexican holiday. This year, serve up the CORZO’s Evolutionary Margarita – an inspired version of the Margarita created by renowned New York Mixologist Jonathan Pogash.
The cocktail incorporates new and unusual cocktail trends into the foundation of America’s favorite cocktail.
“The use of savory ingredients in this drink is one of my favorite trends that we’re currently seeing a lot of at the bar,” says Pogash. Blue agave nectar and muddled fresh peppers add that savory touch and the silky taste of CORZO Reposado, made with twice the agave and a unique triple the distillation process, gives the drink a modern twist. Pogash also notes that “the cocktail tastes best when finished off with a hard shake and pourer over ice.” Add a festive garnish using a green lime wheel and red pepper – both colors from the Mexican flag.
