Grapefruit Margarita (Ruby Rita)
The GRAPEFRUIT MARGARITA (“Ruby Rita“) is a grapefruit embellishment of the margarita experience. It’s got the tequila and orange liqueur of the standard margarita, but adds fresh grapefruit juice for a refreshing twist. Lime juice is optional. The preferred tequila...
Bahama Mama
The BAHAMA MAMA is a warm-weather drink of choice when you’re in the mood for a fruity tropical rum cocktail. If you have its five main ingredients, just a couple of minor extras will finish the mix. REQUIREMENTS: white rum,...
Matcha Gin

The MELON DAIQUIRI offers two serving possibilities for the fan of melon-flavored cocktails: (1) Shaken and poured into an Old-Fashioned glass filled with ice, or (2) blended and poured frozen into a margarita glass. Both drinks require light rum, Midori...
Lagerita
For some reason, beer & margarita go together well, side by side. So, it’s no surprise that the LAGERITA combines both into one single drink. It’s delicious and refreshing, and perfect to celebrate Cinco de Mayo or to refresh on...
