5 Best Tequila Cocktails to try right Now-Dial A Drink Kenya

Think of tequila cocktails, and the Margarita is sure to come to mind. I’s a great drink, certainly, but the agave spirits can be used in so much more than the popular combination of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur.

   Margarita

It’s one of the most popular cocktails in the World and for a good reason. The combination of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime (plus simple syrup) strikes all the right notes.

This cocktail is said to be invented in 1948 in Dallas and also some say Margarita translates to daisy flower in Spanish, was an inevitable twist on the Daisy, a cocktail template involving spirit, citrus, orange liqueur and soda. Make one with tequila, leave out soda, and you get a Margarita.

But regardless of how or when it was invented, the Margarita has earned its way into drinkers’ hearts.
