To celebrate National Margarita Day, we’re harnessing the power of twos as Grammy-winning duo and JAJA co-owners The Chainsmokers share their favorite riffs on the classic tequila cocktail.
With this palindrome day in history, The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart & Alex Pall have each infused their own personality into a refreshing, easy-to-make margarita. Drew’s go-to is a JAJA Watermelon Lime Mashup Margarita utilizing JAJA Blanco’s ($35) black pepper and citrus notes paired with limeade, spiked seltzer and watermelon. On the other hand, Alex selected JAJA Anejo ($45) to dovetail with hibiscus tea, sparkling water, and blood orange for the JAJA Hibiscus High.

Spirits writers, marketers and designers are among the most influential forces in the spirits industry. Their opinions, ideas and creative talents inform and influence consumer perceptions and buying decisions. The John Barleycorn Society was started by a group of spirits journalists seeking to honor excellence in all facets of the industry. The journalists spent several years creating a comprehensive competition that became the John Barleycorn Awards. An elite team of authoritative and influential spirits journalists was selected to administer the flagship component of the Awards, a blind tasting competition destined to become the preeminent arbitrator of spirits taste, quality and character.
