Wow, the Sauza tequila comes out strong in this margarita. So does the house sweet and sour blend. It's really, really sour. I can't pick out the Grand Marnier but that's probably because my mouth is too busy puckering due to the lemon juice. If you try this one out, don't get a salt rim: it just intensifies the citrus.

Most of my posts on nightlife feature a specific cocktail that I’ve enjoyed rather than focusing on the atmosphere of the bar, club, or wine bar that I’m patronizing. Largely, that’s because I care more about what’s in my glass than I do what’s playing on the speakers. However, I am far more likely to enjoy neighborhood dive bars and wine bars than I am a club or anywhere with loud music. I’ll still give the latter a try, and if the beverages are inventive and fun, I’ll be back no matter the soundtrack!
My standard order at a bar that likely doesn’t make fancy cocktails? A whiskey and ginger beer or a gin and tonic. Learn more about my nightlife and cocktail posts here.
