Blueberry isn’t the only fruit that you can flavour a Margarita with. You can also use strawberries, which is what the restaurant at a Juhu hotel does. They use two strawberries to muddle the shaker that the cocktail is made in, and even add a slice of the berry to garnish the drink.

Time 2 pm to 1.30 am

A sour turn

A restaurant in Lower Parel serves a drink called Margarita sour. “The idea behind it is to have a Margarita and a sour-style cocktail together in one glass,” says mixologist Izler Thomas, meaning the cocktail has egg whites and garnished with Angostura bitters. Thomas adds that the cocktail is also imbibed with a nutty flavour thanks to the addition of vanilla syrup and passion fruit puree.

Time 11 am to 1 am 
At Café Panama, Mathuradas Mill Compound, Lower Parel.

Fruity flavours

The cocktail gets a Konkan makeover at this chain of restaurants, with the addition of kokum, which adds a sour kick to the drink. But the sweetness from muddled apple also ensures that this Margarita has a balance of flavours.

Feeling blue

A Juhu hotspot adds a touch of fresh blueberries to its Margarita, apart from infusing it with the zing of lemongrass. Both the ingredients are muddled in a shaker, before the three traditional ingredients — tequila, triple sec and lime juice – are added to it. This is double-strained into a coupe glass, before being garnished with a slice of dehydrated lime and fresh mint leaves.

Time 6 pm to 1 am

Spicing it up

A newly opened bar in BKC has given the Margarita a desi twist. Bartender Allan D’Souza tells us, “As we are all aware, India is a country famous for different types of herbs and spices. Keeping that in mind, we have created the masala Margarita, which will give you the real flavours of India with a little hint of Mexico.” He adds that the spices used are cinnamon, cardamom, star anise and clove.
