National Margarita Day is right around the corner and we wanted to share a few great cocktail ideas from legendary rocker and spirits entrepreneur Sammy Hagar’s “Sammy Hagar’s Greatest Cocktail Hits.”

• The Desert Pear Margarita features the world’s first mezcal-tequila, Santo Mezquila, and is a bright purple that packs a punch. With a tropical prickly pear syrup to compliment the Santo Mezquila, this unique cocktail is sure to keep you shaking up more and more!
  • Ingredients include Santo Mezquila, Triple Sec, prickly pear syrup, fresh lime juice, sweet & sour mix and sugar for the rim.
• For a fresh take on the classic margarita, the Margarita Verde is made with fresh cucumbers, cilantro and lime juice, plus Santo Blanco Tequila which brings all these crisp flavors together to quench any thirst.
  • Ingredients include fresh cucumber and cilantro, Santo Blanco Tequila, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice and sweet & sour mix.
• Sammy’s “Velvet Kickstand” Margarita, another cocktail with Santo Blanco Tequila, has a unique take with a burst of Damiana, a light herbal-based liqueur from Mexico. The damiana herb, which grows wild in Baja, is an aphrodisiac, which makes this cocktail a great choice to celebrate the holiday at home with your significant other.
  • Ingredients include Santo Blanco Tequila, Triple Sec, fresh lime juice, Damiana Liqueur, fresh lime and Sammy’s sea salt.
