Let's be frank - we don't need an excuse to get on the Margs... but hey, with Cinco De Mayo round the corner why not?

Live your best lockdown life with a lil' trip down Mexico way.

Cheeky Twists
Kinda like a Margarita, but with a twist in its tail
Persian Lime & Nori Margarita - World of Zing
Sherbert lime notes, umami seaweed... this screams mouth-watering flavour bomb for the tastebuds, and we're into it. Those badasses at World of Zing sure know how to mix a creative cocktail.
Mirror Margarita - Hacha
It's a Margarita but it's... clear? Yep, and award-winning too (cocktail of the year for CLASS 2020, doncha know). Sadly the coasters don't come with it more's the pity BUT good news is you can also order the Mezcal version. F*ck yeah.
Minimum two bottles per order, but trust us, you won't mind buying bulk when you try it.
Hibiscus & Persian Lime Smoked Margarita - World of Zing
Another top twist from those crafty devils at World of Zing. This one's got floral hibiscus cosying up to the lime leaves for a sweeter serve. You'll also notice it says 'smoked' - that comes from a bit of added mezcal. Naughty.
Get involved with a bottle here.
Perfect Palomas
Want a bit more kick in your cocktail? A Paloma = tequila, lime & grapefruit juice. Refreshing as hell, it's the Marg's sassy sister.
Black Line Drinks
Paloma means 'dove', hence the awesome graphic of a bird on the bottle (all designed by up-and-coming young artists). They add a little Maldon Salt to this well-balanced beauty of tequila blanco, grapefruit soda & citrus. It makes for a drink as wicked as one that's been freshly mixed.
Order your 750ml bottle here, and check out their other cocktails while you're at it.
Lollipop
The gang at Lollipop have bottled their version of this Mexican beauty direct to your door - and they've invited Ting to the party. Tequila, Ting and Grapefruit: count us in. They even give you a piece of dehydrated grapefruit for garnish. Legends!
Grab a single serving or 3+ servings here.
Tequila times galore
It makes you happy, it's not so savage for a hangover, and it's healthier - it's time to take a trip to tequila town.
El Diablo - Callooh Callay
It's got tequila. It's got merlet creme de cassis. It's got fresh ginger and ginger ale - what more could you want? Oh, that it's made by an award-winning bar and one of BarChick's faves? Go on then. You can order a bottle of this banger from the awesome crew at Callooh Callay. With 10 serves in each delivery, prepare to make Cinco De Mayo a night to remember (or not).
Don't delay - order your bottle here.
Tequila & Habanero Fizz - Proofing Room
Wanna crank things up a gear? This bad boy has your back. Ocho Tequila, Fuck Trump & His Stupid Fucking Wall, fake coconut, lemon oil & orange bitters make this a carbonated creation we could drink for days. Vamos de fiesta!
Treat yourself to a bottle or three here.
And finally... Mix things up with mezcal
They LOVE it in Mexico & we make no secret of how we go wild for tequila's smokier, sexier sibling.
DOÑA Mezcal Margarita
Just when you thought a Margarita couldn't get better... this fiery number comes along. Dangerous Don Cafe Mezcal, Virtuous Vodka ginger, citrus, and agave = pow. What's even better is that DOÑA is an awesome female-led bar in Stoke Newy. Epic.
One just won't be enough - order yours via thedrinksdrop.com here.
Maplab Barrel-Aged Mezcal Negroni
Go to town and order this insane bottled cocktail from the Gs at MAP lab. They take their drinks pretty seriously and you will too once you've got a taste of this baby. Los Cuerdos Mezcal, Campari and Antica Formula - guaranteed to be your next home-bar fave.
