Beijing gets the feel of a Mexican neighborhood

An ounce of tequila, a dash of triple sec and the juice of half a lime or lemon - that is the first known margarita recipe, which was published in the December 1953 issue of Esquire.

The margarita is a drink that became popular during prohibition in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s as people drifted over the border to Mexico for alcohol.

Now, Mexican bartender Rodrigo Lizardi is bringing his version of the margarita to the newly opened El Barrio, a new destination for Mexican cuisine in Beijing.
