On a crisp afternoon in Margaret River, just as the sun began to dip behind the rows of vineyards, a local bartender had a brilliant idea. As World Margarita Day approached, he wanted to give the classic margarita a modern twist that celebrated not just the drink, but the rich, diverse flavours of his region.
He thought back to the days of coastal warmth and golden sunsets, the fresh citrus groves of the area, and the smooth Pisco distilled from Margaret River’s own vines. “What better way to celebrate,” he mused, “than with a margarita that’s as local as it gets?”
He began with 60mL of Margaret River-grown Pisco, its clean, floral notes reminiscent of the region’s wild beauty. Then, to give it that signature orange kick, he added 15mL of Beyond's famous triple sec, known for its vibrant citrus profile, and a delicate 7.5mL of local lemon-lime sugar syrup, crafted from the freshest fruits the region had to offer.
He dropped the ingredients into a shaker filled with ice, the cold clinking as it met the glass. A few quick shakes later, he poured the drink into a glass, its pale golden hue catching the light. A single slice of lime perched on the rim—a simple, perfect garnish.
As he served the drink, he smiled. The cocktail was not just a modern take on the margarita, it was a celebration of the land and the community that shaped it. On World Margarita Day, the locals and tourists alike sipped on this newly crafted drink, their spirits lifted by the familiar comfort of the margarita, now reimagined with a local flair.
And just like that, the cocktail became a favourite, a way to toast not just the day, but the wonderful region of Margaret River. Cheers to innovation, tradition, and of course, margaritas!
