Join Tony and Christina from The Lido Hoppers aboard Quantum of the Seas on the first Royal Caribbean sailing out of Los Angeles as we explore Ensenada, Mexico in search of the true origin of the margarita! 🍸
Two historic bars—Hussong’s Cantina (est. 1892) and Bar Andaluz—both claim to have invented the world’s favorite cocktail. So we set out to visit both (and a few surprises in between!) to see who really makes the best margarita in Ensenada.
Along the way, we explore the port, spot sea lions, enjoy local flavors at YOLO’s, and soak in the Baja sunshine before sailing away on the Quantum of the Seas.
