Brighton’s Best Cocktail Club: Zhug Margarita from The Crazy Goose
‘Margaritas are something we have always done well, and this is our freshest, smokiest, and punchiest of the bunch,’ says Douglas Thick, Group Bar Manager at Black Rock, the Brighton restaurant group that includes The Crazy Goose as well as Burnt Orange, The Salt Room, Tutto and The Coal Shed. ‘The drink was created by our duty manager, Connor Dineen, who used the new Cazcabel Jalapeño Tequila and combined it with a Zhug-inspired agave that carries on the fire-fuelled DNA of the food of the restaurant.’
Ingredients
35ml Cazcabel Jalapeño Tequila
35ml Zhug agave
15ml Ginger syrup
25ml Lime Juice
To make the zhug agave, blend coal-charred habanero chillies into agave syrup with parsley and coriander. Add to a cocktail shaker with the tequila, ginger syrup and lime juice and ice; shake hard, then strain into a chilled rocks glass with a homemade chilli salt rim. Top with a flamed Padron pepper (flamed right in front of your eyes at the restaurant), eat the Padron, sip the margarita and relish the kick to all your senses.

Winners of One, Two and Three Domes, as well as those awarded a Local Favourite rating are invited to participate. During one designated fortnight in October, each restaurant offers diners a special menu which best showcases their food. It’s a great opportunity for restaurants to attract new customers, and for diners to try somewhere new at a discounted price.
Food reviews are essential as they provide insights into dining experiences. They help consumers choose restaurants that meet their expectations and can influence a restaurant's reputation. Positive reviews can attract more customers, while negative ones can prompt improvements in service and quality.
