Origin:
Everything starts with a purpose. After being invited to participate in Patrón Margarita of the Year I decided to have a look at my pantry and one ingredient took my attention - Greek yoghurt, and I quickly decided it would be a part of my cocktail. To me, the challenge was to find a way to connect it with Patrón Tequila by keeping the Margarita profile. So I added the cucumber as well as the paprika to have a balanced flavour. In my opinion Grecita is a delicious cocktail and I definitely challenge you to reproduce it at home.
