When we think about Margarita, we can come up with tequila. If we think about tequila, what kind of tequila will it be? Do you remember the taste of tequila? Really? Surprisingly we are so good at recalling colors or images that come at first glance. What reminds you of the color of Patrón? Vivid light green color. Symbolic identity is very important as all we know. What if all tequila lovers thought of a Margarita as a color first. You should enjoy the first taste with your eyes. Light green color of margarita and orange colored paprika powder and salt will remind people Patrón Silver and Reposado.

My drink 'ELSE' has every DNA of Margarita. Citrus from lemony liquor and lemon juice. Sweet like after taste of Patrón from herbal liquor, hint of orange flavor from blue curaçao, and saltiness and spicy from paprika powder and salt.

Bartenders can't live without a word "Anything Else". Someone who just finished a lovely Margarita will be asked by Bartender. Bartender stared at empty glass and said: "Anything Else?". Customer answered: "Something Else?". Bartender made ELSE simply perfect to customer and said: "Here's something ELSE".
