Ricardo's Mexican Restaurant and ROSANGEL Tequila Break Guinness World Record for the World's Largest Pink Margarita


Ricardo’s Mexican Restaurant and ROSANGEL™ Tequila broke the Guinness World Records for “World’s Largest Pink Margarita” on Friday, October 15. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, ROSANGEL™, the world’s premier hibiscus-infused tequila, gave the margarita a pink hue. A portion of the event’s proceeds benefitted Susan G. Komen for the Cure® of Southern Nevada.

Ricardo’s and Rosangel new Guinness World Record for the “World’s Largest Pink Margarita” was certified at 7,627 gallons, surpassing the previous record of 7,039 gallons. To break this record Ricardo’s used a 14 ft. tall 10 ft. wide tank, 4,600 liters of Rosangel Tequila (1,215 gallons), 5,000 gallons of spring water, 750 quarts of Kelly Y Gonzalez lime juice, 750 gallons of La Paz Sweet and Sour, 1,500 liters of triple sec (396 gallons), and 20 pounds of salt. This record-breaking libation will make a total of 81,355 -12 oz. margaritas.

Ricardo’s continued the celebration on Saturday with the surrounding parking lot transforming into the ultimate block party fiesta at Flamingo and Decatur. The event included food and drink specials, a taco eating contest that started at Noon, live outdoor entertainment with Tommy Rocker at 8 p.m., Mexican Cruise give-a-way, and more.

“We are beyond excited to break the Guinness World Record for the ‘World’s Largest Pink Margarita’,” said Ricardo’s owner, Bob Ansara. “After over a year of planning this event it is exhilarating to make history and complete this project. We are so grateful to celebrate 30 years of business and could not think of a better way to celebrate with our community.”
