Max Reis (@beerghost) can’t escape flavored Marg

Max Reis (@beerghost) can’t escape flavored Margaritas. As a Los Angeles bartender whose goal it is to “surprise and delight guests with creative, unexpected cocktails” while working in Mexican restaurants, the public’s thirst for fruity Margaritas can sometimes be a frustrating cross to bear. Things finally came to a head at Los Feliz’s @Mirate.LosAngeles, which won the “Best Bar in the West” and “Highest Climber” awards at this year’s 50 Best Bars in North America and is an Imbibe 75 Place to Watch. Even though the award-winning bar features Reis’ unique cocktails that color far outside the classic template lines, such as a clarified Margarita, it still gets its fair share of fruity Margarita orders.

But rather than rail against it, Reis and Matt Egan (@eganme), founding partner of Mirate, decided to lean into the fruitier side. They created @Daisy.LosAngeles, using the tequila classic as a vehicle to introduce people to innovative techniques and little-known Mexican spirits and brands. Head to the link in our bio to read more from Caroline Pardilla (@carolineoncocktails) about the bar’s genesis and drinks.
