Created by the 2016 patrón Margarita Of The Year finalist from Dallas Stephen Halpin, the Smoked Mangonada Margarita features bright citrusy and fruity flavours complemented by just the right amount of smokiness.

“Picking up another shift at a recently opened rooftop bar, Vanessa was enjoying her time back behind the stick. Like the view it offered, this bar was a little loftier than the usual haunts that she used to work, so it didn’t take long for her to realise that you could tell as much about a venue from the bottles it kept its well, as you could from the menu or the guests.”
