Tim Tam margarita being offered at El Camino Cantina

As the week inches closer to Australia Day, bars and restaurants across the country are coming up with unique ways to give everything a special a Aussie touch.

But one Mexican restaurant in Sydney has unveiled something truly unexpected – a margarita made out of Tim Tam biscuits. 

El Camino Cantina revealed their $16 Tim Tam Margarita this week, a surprising concoction that blends a raspberry margarita with the biscuit’s mint flavour.

Maksim Babajev, El Camino’s assistant restaurant manager, told Daily Mail Australia that he wanted to create something ‘unique and symbolic’ for the holiday. 

‘Tim Tams have a cult following, as do our margaritas,’ he said. ‘So, we decided to try and combine the two. It turned out to be the perfect marriage.’

‘Our Tim Tam Margarita is a celebration of all things Australian: Australian tastes, an Australian icon, and Aussie humour. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Australia Day.’ 

To create the margarita, El Camino’s staff blended mint-flavoured Tim Tams into their Raspberry Margarita.

Each drink is also served with a mint flavoured Tim Tam as a garnish. 

‘The reason I picked these flavours is that raspberry naturally pairs very well with chocolate and mint,’ Babajev explained.

‘The drink is a good balance between sweet and sour: the sweetness of the chocolate, the tart-sweetness of the raspberry, and sour notes from the lime juice.’

‘The Tim Tam flavours do not overpower the Raspberry Margarita. It’s just a lovely margarita with an Aussie twist.’

Babajev said the dessert cocktail is perfect on its own or a sweet way to end a meal. 

If you’re looking to keep the Aussie theme going throughout the day, Fratelli Fresh is also offering an Australia Day special. 

The Italian chain – which, like El Camino, is owned by the Rockpool Dining Group – is serving up Vegemite pizzas on Friday.

Fratelli Fresh will be selling the $16 pizzas at all seven of its Sydney locations from January 22 to January 28. 

The pizza features a crust smeared with Vegemite and topped with both smoked and buffalo mozzarella cheeses.
