As if your summer plans aren’t already hotter than Dita Von Teese herself, why not add a bit more heat to the season of fun with this hot and sexy twist on the classic margarita. Created by Von Teese, the Queen of Burlesque, the MargaDita combines the mainstay ingredients of a traditional margarita with the personal touch and charisma of the seductive Von Teese. It's only fitting that this drink would be served in a glass rumored to be fashioned after a female body part.
Featuring Tequila Avion Silver with hints of mint and rosemary, this taste-elevated tequila scored a stellar 95 rating out of a possible 100 from the beverage industry trade publication, “The Tasting Panel.” Launched only in late July 2010, Tequila Avion was included in the prestigious and world-renowned 2010 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book and retails in the $40-$50 price range.
Tequila Avion is produced with the Blue Weber Agave, which is found in the highest regions of Jalisco, Mexico and has more depth and character due to being grown the high elevations. The plants are coveted for tequila production because of the rich mineral content of the soil. Avion Silver is bottled immediately after distillation and finishes exceptionally smooth, crisp and clean on the palate.
Celebrate the intensely hot excitement of summer with the sultry taste of Dita Von Teese’s signature cocktail made with Tequila Avion and a dash of smoky, spicy Chipotle and garnished with the sexiness of rose petals.
