The Pink Chihuahua

Mexican beer dates back to before the arrival of European conquistadors in America.

Mayans and Aztecs were brewing grain-based alcoholic beverages (primarily from corn) long before the Spanish arrived in Mexico. it was the influx of German immigrants and the influence of a brief Habsburg rule over the country in the middle of the 19th century that helped cement the art of brewing as an all-Mexican endeavour.

Mexico spent four years under Austro-German emperor Maximilian, so much of the early development in the brewing industry was done by immigrants of Germanic background, which shows in the different type of beers being brewed.

The margarita is a classic drink that contains tequila, lime or lemon juice and triple sec orange liquor.

"The original drink which would become the Margarita—the Picador—was invented in England around 1936. The book which featured it—WJ Tarling’s "the Café Royal Cocktail Book"—was published in 1937. The Picador calls for 1⁄4 fresh lime (or lemon) juice, 1⁄4 Cointreau, 1⁄2 tequila—shaken. This is the basic Margarita recipe."
Ted Haig - cocktail historian.

We serve the classic house margarita over rocks, ‘Straight-up’ or frozen, with or without salt. If you like your margarita sweeter try our tommy’s, made with agave syrup. We make all our margaritas with fresh pressed lime juice; we believe this makes the best margarita.
