Mexican Bar
MAKING A GREAT MARGARITA IS PART ART, PART SCIENCE... FROM THE LIME JUICE TO THE TEQUILA TO THE RIM SALT. WHAT’S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT MARGARITAS TRES SEÑORITAS?
We use fresh squeezed lime juice and tiny, tangy Mexican or Key limes.
We squeeze our limes by hand using a Mexican lime-juicer, which releases the precious aromatic oils hidden in the skin of the fruit
We allow our fresh-squeezed lime juice to “mellow” overnight for a smoother, silkier margarita
We use organic agave syrup as a sweetener, not sugar and water.
We recommend a reposada tequila that has been aged in small barrels.
We recommend Torres Orange over Grand Marnier: its lighter, easier to blend.
We rim our glasses with Ancho Chile Lime Rim Salt, which is made just for this purpose.

DID YOU KNOW THAT MARGARITAS ARE NOT THE MOST POPULAR DRINK IN MEXICO?!
other tequila & mezcal drinks:
Paloma
(This IS the most popular drink in Mexico) with fresh grapefruit juice and tequila, a splash of soda, agave and a Mexican lime wedge. We recommend Tequila Reposado or Blanco.
A Shot & Sangrita
In Mexico, Sangrita (not to be confused with Sangria) is a customary partner to a shot of straight Tequila Blanco; a non-alcoholic accompaniment that highlights tequila's crisp acidity and cleanses the palate between each peppery sip. Sangrita translates as “little blood” because of its bright red color. Made with Seville orange, lime and pomegranate juices and a hint of ancho chile, it's garnished with a couple of jalapeño slices
A Shot & Verdita
A riff on the "Shot & Sangrita", the bright, refreshing accompaniment is made with pineapple juice, cilantro and mint pressed to release their oils, and jalapeño.
Bloody Maria
Mexican riff on the Bloody Mary, same kick, but made with tequila. A brunch favorite.
