Twang Beer Salt: Twang in Las Vegas Supporting Margaritaville’s Lucky Rita!

Twang Reps were directly involved in the concocting Genius Book of Records Largest Margarita in the world called the “Lucky Rita”! The first two days of the event where spent unloading and opening 2,125 Gallons of Margaritaville Gold Tequila botttles, 708 Gallons of Margaritaville Triple Sec bottles and 5,667 Gallons of Margarita Mix. For a total of 8,500 Gallons of Margarita to be enjoyed by a unique follow of “Parrot Heads” and Las Vegas passerby’s. In all, over 181,000 Margarita came out of the gigantic cup outside the Flamingo/Margaritaville Hotel and Casino.

The previous Guinness world record for the largest cocktail was a margarita with a volume of 28,871 liters (6,350 gal, 7,627 US gal) achieved by Ricardo's Mexican Restaurant and Rosangel Tequila (both USA) in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

Halfway through the ceremony celebrating the new World Record, Jimmy Buffett surprised fans by coming out and raising a glass of Lucky Rita with the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team along with Flamingo's Rick Mazer and Margaritaville's Tamara Baldanza in front of more than 1,000 Parrotheads and onlookers.

Lucky Rita were on sale to the public for the about two days allowing guests a taste of history and an opportunity to contribute to a great cause. For every gallon of Lucky Rita sold, Margaritaville will donate $5 to the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team. More than a margarita, Lucky Rita is a concoction with a cause.

Across the street from the Flamingo on the walls of O'sheas Casino hung a wall of advertisement from all the sponsors that help make the Lucky Rita happen. If you look closely, the far bottom left hand corner is the Twang's Margaritaville's Tins of Lime and Mango.
