From the Bartender

Blue curaçao is functionally identical to regular orange curaçao in flavor - the blue color is purely cosmetic, courtesy of artificial dye. For the most visually dramatic result, serve straight up in a chilled cocktail glass rather than on the rocks, which keeps that vivid azure hue unmuddied.

Tequila 100% Agave Blanco

Grand Margarita

Bright and tangy citrus from fresh lime leads the way, layered with smooth agave warmth and the rich, sophisticated orange sweetness of Grand Marnier. A salted rim ties it all together with a savory finish that keeps every sip balanced and refreshing.

Tequila Blanco

Whitecap Margarita

Tropical and luscious, with vivid passion fruit and tart lime cutting through the rich, sweet coconut cream, while silver tequila brings a clean agave backbone that keeps the whole thing refreshingly vibrant rather than cloying.

Blanco Tequila

Mexico Pacifico

Juicy tropical passion fruit meets zesty lime over the peppery, earthy backbone of blanco tequila, with just a whisper of sugar to round it off. Bright, refreshing and sunny from first sip to last.

Half Lime (cut into 4 wedges)

Ipamena

Bright, tangy lime and exotic passion fruit open the palate with a tropical citrus rush, while the earthy sweetness of brown sugar grounds the drink before ginger ale sweeps in with effervescent spice and a clean, refreshing finish.
