Origin:


In the past century, 2020 is the most challenging year for the whole world. For China, It will finally come to an end on 12th of February. According to tradition, Chinese people will welcome the Chinese New Year by decorating their homes with the most vivid red, which foresees the coming year with abundance of health, wealth and prosperity. During the Spring Festival, people greet each other with "red fortune shines down", elders will give "red pocket" to the youths for "good fortune and happiness". Red is the colour of joy and festivity. I created the CNY Margarita with the most accessible red berry of the season. I wish this drink can bring love and prosperity to everyone, and peace and tranquillity returns to the world.
