What’s your idea of the perfect margarita? With so many choices offered from salt to flavor, Milagro Tequila was in search of which elements are favorites for consumers and conducted a survey to find those results in light of the upcoming National Margarita Day on February 22nd.
The stand out statistic from the survey confirmed that 91% of people prefer margaritas fresh over those made with a pre-packaged mix. If you fall in this category, Milagro’s The Freshest Margarita is perfect for you. Milagro’s classic recipe combines 2 parts Milagro Silver Tequila, ¾ part agave nectar and 1 part fresh lime juice, and is best drank out of a rocks glass, which 1/3 of respondents prefer drinking out of over a big margarita glass.
The survey also revealed that nearly 2/3 of people prefer salt on the rim and 70% of respondents prefer drinking from the rim rather than through a straw. While more than half of respondents take their margaritas blended, the majority of people like original flavor rather than margaritas enhanced with extra fruit. A mere 40% like having an extra tequila shot mixed in their margarita and exactly 2/3 of respondents prefer Silver tequila over Reposado.
No matter how you prefer your margarita, Milagro has you covered with three different cocktails for National Margarita Day and beyond – The Milagro Freshest Margarita, The Milagro Blood Orange Margarita and The Veracruzana Pineapple Margarita – at least one of which is sure to satisfy your style.
Cheers!
