Los Cabos, Mexico (March 24, 2022) — While National Margarita Day is in the rear-view mirror, and Cinco de Mayo is still a couple weeks away, the margarita—arguably the most famous and in-demand cocktail in the world—keeps flowing at Pueblo Bonito Golf & Spa Resorts. All five properties have concocted their own unique versions of the margarita along with a “Margarita Mile” Package that gives guests the opportunity to try them all and spend time with the resorts’ tequila sommelier.
No drink is more closely associated with Mexico than the margarita, and no group of bartenders in Los Cabos is more adept at creating enticing variations of this perfect combination of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter.
The basic margarita—reported to have originated during Prohibition in Tijuana, Mexico, when Americans drifted over the border for alcohol—contains only three ingredients: tequila, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. Salt on the rim of the glass, is optional. The drink is generally served shaken with ice or blended with ice (frozen).
The margarita offerings—all made only with high-quality 100% blue agave tequila—currently available at Pueblo Bonito Resorts in Los Cabos include:
- Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos – Cadillac Margarita at Cilantros Restaurant
- Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach – Super Margarita Golden at LaFrida Restaurant
- Pueblo Bonito Pacifica – Serrano Margarita at Peninsula Bar
- Quivira Clubhouse – Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita at Quivira Steakhouse
- Montecristo Estates – Piña del Barrio Margarita at Cibola Restaurant
Of course, the only way to decide which one you like the most is to sample them all!
And don’t overlook tequila’s healthful properties, including lowering blood sugar, aiding weight loss, fighting cholesterol, dilating blood vessels (for better blood flow), cleansing the colon, and helping sleep, among other benefits.
To learn more about tequila—and how to turn out a margarita that will make your taste buds zing in Spanish—sign up for a tequila tasting session with one of the resort’s master tequila sommeliers, known as a catadores.
A cata, or tasting, is the best way to experience the distinct flavor profiles of tequila, which can range from citrus and mint to vanilla and butterscotch and vary greatly from one distillery to the next. Learn how to rate tequila according to a variety of qualities, including color, body, nose, flavor, and finish.
In addition, you’ll learn that to truly be called “tequila” it must come from one of the five states in Mexico that have the government designation to make and produce it. The most well-known is Jalisco, the birthplace of tequila.
