World's first 'margarita margherita' pizza is coming to Belfast

There’s the classic Margherita pizza and there’s the classic Margarita cocktail. Put the two together and say hello to the world’s first ever Margarita Margherita pizza - a unique fusion of food and drink from Jose Cuervo that combines all the ingredients of a Margherita pizza with those of the iconic tequila cocktail – all in time for National Margarita Day on Monday, February 22nd.

With lockdown, millions of homes have turned to takeaways and deliveries, so Jose Cuervo (world’s oldest tequila) has joined forces with local vendors and restaurants to freshly make and deliver the Margarita Margherita pizza to homes across Belfast.

Will this intriguing new dish become the ‘pizza de resistance’ of lockdown meals for fans of bread, cheese, tomato and Mexican cocktails?

What's inside the 'margarita margherita' pizza?

• Pizza dough fermented in Jose Cuervo tequila for over 24-hours

• Tomato sauce marinated in triple sec, salt, garlic and Jose Cuervo tequila

• Topped with Buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil leaves and grated parmesan

• Garnished with sea salt and fresh lime

Signature cocktail

Every purchase of the £8 pizza will come with a complimentary special edition pizza-inspired Margarita cocktail that combines the traditional sweet and savoury flavours of a traditional Margarita with toppings found in a traditional Margherita pizza.

It contains fresh lemon juice, basil, fresh tomatoes and tequila. Finished off with a garnish of cherry tomatoes and a mozzarella ball on a skewer with basil leaves.

Pre-orders are open for Belfast pizza and Margarita fans today: josecuervoirl.myshopify.com
