The Perfectly Balanced Classic

Classic Margarita

Direct, no frills, perfectly balanced. We tried all kinds of options, but often simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. You can't hide anything. 100% agave blanco tequila made in the highlands of Arrandas, Jalisco Mexico. We add organic agave syrup and balanced with fresh lime juice. Slightly citrus forward with strong notes from all the agave. In-house made orange liqueur, made using local orange peels. We pre-dilute salt into the water so you get just the right amount in each sip. That's the way we roll.

MIXOLOGIST

Charity K

"My drink style has been very self taught. I’ve always said my style is going into a kitchen, (restaurant, bar or home) grabbing a few items and really just playing with different flavors – herbs, spices, etc. that maybe you wouldn’t think would pair well together. I guess when I first started, I was really experimenting, and of course over time you become more refined. I think what it really taught me is that there are no rules. If you have too many restrictions and ideas of how cocktails need to be made, you may miss the opportunity to explore and try something new." - Charity K Johnston

Margarita History

One of the earliest stories is of the margarita being invented in 1938 by Carlos "Danny" Herrera at his restaurant Rancho La Gloria, halfway between Tijuana and Rosarito, Baja California, created for customer and former Ziegfeld dancer Marjorie King, who was allergic to many spirits, but not to tequila.
