Live Well. Drink Well.
Written By: Michelle Slieff Summer Margaritas
Summer will be here before you know it. You’ve already started to stock up on bikinis and your base layer for that inevitable killer tan, and backyard barbecues are on the rise. You can already begin to smell bonfires as the sun sets. And what’s that in your hand? (No not your cell phone). It’s a Margarita! This is how we summer in southern California.
Manhattan Margarita lives this lifestyle year round. They’ve experimented with different margarita blends, using fresh squeezed citrus juices and quality tequilas, and have perfected a smooth refreshing taste for us. Through a blend of five different juices and the use of premium, silver agave tequila, a harmonious margarita is achieved. We have their founder, Steven Brown, to thank for this all natural and refreshing cocktail. Brown embodies that Manhattan Beach lifestyle, surfing with friends and attending more backyard barbecues than he can probably count. One tequila, two tequila…which is how this smooth tasting margarita was created.
Shake up your summer by mixing up one of these refreshing recipes to help keep you cool as the temperatures rise. Now this is how you summer in style. Cheers!
And, of course, please drink responsibly. Manhattan Margarita is 15% Alc. By Vol.
