Origin:


I was born in Russia, where there's a beautiful flower called Margaritka. So, for a long time in my childhood, when adults were drinking something from very beautiful glasses and were calling it Margarita, I was absolutely sure that it was some kind of secret flower juice. And I really wanted to taste one. Time was passing by and I started to forget about secret flower juice until my little nephew asked me about my Patrón flower juice, and why I drink it so much and can he try one. At that moment I decided that I have to create the cocktail based on these memories to engrave in my recipe that child inside me that still wants that secret flower juice. And I couldn't find a better way than to create this cocktail to present it at such a wonderful occasion as Margarita of the Year.
