Celebrate Margarita Day with Del Maguey

The Cocktail That Conquered the World Has Found a New Way to Shine

The margarita is more than just a cocktail—it’s a mixology legend. Its perfect balance of acidity, sweetness, and the strength of agave has made it an icon that transcends borders and generations. And like any great icon, this drink has evolved, adapting to new tastes and trends without losing its essence.

Today, the mezcal margarita is more than just a trend—it’s a reinvention that has captivated those who seek a more complex and authentic flavor profile. And when it comes to mezcal, Del Maguey stands as the best choice, according to the Drinks International Brands Report 2025.

Every year on February 22, the world celebrates Margarita Day, a tribute to this agave-based cocktail, which gained popularity in bars across Mexico and the U.S. in the 20th century. Now, its mezcal version takes center stage in this celebration, elevating the experience with deeper, more sophisticated notes. Have you tried yours yet?

The Mezcal Margarita: A New Level of Flavor

Mezcal has taken over the mixology scene, turning traditional recipes into unique sensory experiences. By swapping tequila for mezcal, the margarita gains a new level of depth and sophistication, with a bolder character and smoky notes that make it irresistible.

Why Is Del Maguey the Best Mezcal for This Version?

Artisanal & Sustainable Process: Crafted using traditional methods that honor the time and essence of agave, in collaboration with over 10 families from Oaxaca and Puebla who keep the artisanal process alive.
Complex & Balanced Notes: A subtle smoky touch that enhances the cocktail’s freshness without overpowering it.
Globally Recognized Quality: Considered the number one mezcal in the world (according to IWSR, 2024) for mixology due to its unparalleled aromatic profile.
