Now in its fifth year, Margarita of the Year is Patrón Tequila's continuing global search for the perfect twist on the classic Margarita recipe. This year the Margarita of the Year campaign welcomed bartenders from eight cities across the globe, stretching from Hong Kong to Guadalajara, and invited them to design Margarita recipes using a variety of fresh flavour combinations inspired by their local region.

After counting votes from around the world, Dynasty Margarita with lychee and ginger to create a citrusy and sweet margarita honouring bartender Jay Khan’s hometown was pronounced the 2019 Margarita of the Year.
