Margaritas are seriously trending right now. Spicy Margs, especially. Seizing the buzz, Matt Stirling (of the seriously brilliant Caretaker’s Cottage in Melbourne) has tinkered with the recipe and introduced it to the newest style of beer – fruity beer.
“What could capture the moment more than a Margarita sharing a glass with bubbly and bright Mosey Passionfruit?” asks Matt. We can’t think of anything better! For those who haven’t tried fruity beer yet, its light and refreshing flavours lend themselves beautifully to mixed drinks like this one, which comes to you hot off the press.
“This Spicy Marg uses the classic DNA of tequila, lime and agave,” Matt says. “A few dashes of hot sauce are optional for those looking to lift their spice game.” For those who err on the side of caution, a dusting of salt and Tajin spice mix on the rim of the glass will add a hint of spice without blowing anything up.
In the interest of balance, Mosey Passionfruit fruity beer provides a sweet and zesty counterpoint to the spice and a refreshingly moreish texture. “It’s that perfect combination of spice, sweetness and passionfruit-sherbert texture that makes for a drink asking to be sipped with high frequency,” Matt says.
Savoury, spice, sweet – what more could you want from a Spicy Marg?
