With 2023 set to be the summer of the savory sip¹, and with cocktails inspired by foods rising in popularity,² a taquito margarita is poised to impress. The Taquito-rita starts with a bold base of JAJA Tequila Blanco, muddled jalapeño peppers, agave syrup, and lime juice, shaken and served on the rocks. A crispy garnish of four, golden DELIMEX taquitos, jalapeño peppers, lime, and a crunchy celery stalk, as well as a chile-lime seasoning on the glass’s rim take the cocktail to the next level. Finally, to create the perfect sip and balance out the spicier flavor notes, the Taquito-rita is topped with a light and mellow sour cream froth. Sip it straight or dip your taquitos right in the froth – either option will excite your taste buds.

“At DELIMEX, we encourage our fans to seek out and celebrate the everyday moments that bring them joy,” said Lauren Nowak, Brand Manager, DELIMEX. “As we look to continue to find new and exciting ways to delight, we were thrilled to find a partner in JAJA and co-create the Taquito-rita.
