Totopos Street Food & Tequila aims to transport guests to the majestic streets of Mexico City, offering an impression of daily life filled with the flavors and textures the city has to offer.
The Butterfly Margarita represents transformation. The butterfly pea flower-infused tequila starts blue and becomes purple when reacting to acidic lemon juice. Manager Maria Bravo says: “It’s like a butterfly in its metamorphosis from the common, colorless caterpillar to the exquisite winged creature of delicate beauty.”
Recipe:
1 oz. Lonerider Tequila Cask Finish Bourbon
1 oz. butterfly pea-infused tequila
1.5 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 oz. agave nectar
In a shaker, mix bourbon, lemon juice, and agave nectar with ice cubes and shake for five seconds. Strain and pour onto new rocks in a short glass. Pour in the butterfly pea-infused tequila and watch the color transformation. Stir well for all flavors to come together and cheers!
