Margarita Picante Cocktail recipe

Mexico’s given us a lot: the inspo for your fave Guzzy burrito, Frida Kahlo exhibits and the TikTok birria taco trend. Then there’s Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead (Thursday November 2 this year). And while we might not get the day off in Straya, we’re giving it our own nod with this festive cocktail.

      Top with a coriander leaf plus a slice of chilli like it's art class (and you’re desperate for a good grade). Salud!
