Beyond the classic recipe, there are multiple variations of the margarita, featuring fruity, floral and herbal flavours which maintain the drink’s signature crispness. The effervescence and flavour notes of the cocktail complement gourmet seafood bites, making their umami flavours taste better without overpowering them.
Crispy on the outside and soft inside, crab cake bites have a rich, buttery flavour of the ocean, that contrasts well with a citrus-forward margarita.
The cocktail’s mild sweetness complements air-fried calamari’s savoury crunch, making it ideal to serve individuals who prefer citrus and savoury flavours.
Smoky and slightly charred due to being cooked over hot coals, tiger shrimp contribute their depth to the sweetness and mellow brininess of the margarita.
For a refined umami profile and briny salinity provided by raw, shucked oysters – the sweetness of the cocktail sauce is offset by the citrus in the cocktail.
Shaken margarita cocktails tone down the acidity for a milder flavour with the use of crushed ice and tropical garnishes, which pair with the clean flavours of cured salmon. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
