Here at Casa México we’re getting ready to celebrate one of our most favorite days of the year: National Margarita Day. Every February 22nd we break out our finest margarita glasses, cue up the limes and line up our premium tequilas. It’s like we were born for this day.

Though we always advocate for moderation, we see no reason why a fruit-based cocktail can’t also include additional ingredients that also make you feel good and alive.

The Golden Boy cocktail pays homage to the boxer, man and legend, Oscar De La Hoya. Innovative bartender Dan Rook created it. Dan is a nationally recognized veteran of bars, and much like Oscar has fought his way through the ranks. He began his career in Chicago pubs, more recently making his way to Hollywood with the sole mission of teaching Angelenos how to drink better drinks.  

Let’s get this straight. Agave is a succulent, one of great variety. The plant that makes tequila isn’t the same one that yields in mezcal, for example, though every tequila is technically a mezcal (but not the other way around). Preparation aside, raw inputs and regions where each is produced are very distinct. Much like with fine wines – each has a unique terroir, you just can’t lump everything simply into agave – el maguey.
