peach margarita
Language lesson, margarita is Spanish for daisy. History lesson, U.S. residents travelling to Mexico for alcohol during Prohibiton brought this one back long before it became an US cinco de mayo hit. Here at the bistrō, we took a refreshing spin on the classic with a little stone fruit purée.
Happy Barking!
