Margarita & Mexican Food: A Perfect Pairing

As a traditionally Mexican drink, Mexican food is the natural choice to go along with your margarita:

• Snacks: If you want to begin with some snacks or appetizers, chips and salsa or seven-layer dip are an easy and tasty option. The saltiness of the chips perfectly complements the tang of the tequila and lime. If you’d like something a little heavier, quesadillas are flat cheese-filled tortillas you can personalize by adding meat and vegetables.
• The Main Course: Fajitas are a popular lunch or dinner choice, and with good reason! You can make your dish anywhere on the spicy spectrum, but they are always hot and should have fantastic fruit juices to accompany the blend of vegetables and meat. With a sizzling plate of fajitas in front of you, the refreshing citrus of your cocktail will cool down your tongue between each bite.
• Dessert: A good margarita is almost a dessert on its own, with the tart fruit flavor and the tang of tequila. If you’d like to add a separate dessert, however, a fruity sorbet or a sweet fruit cup complements the beverage citrus well.
