It’s dressed to the nines with Espolon Blanco tequila, fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and agave nectar. You’ll think you’ve hopped a jet to Los Cabos and lost your flipflops in the surf—but, you won’t care because your taste buds will be skinny dipping in tropical luxury.

STRAWBERRY JALAPENO MARGARITA
Neon Mallard, Pagosa Springs, Colorado
The Neon Mallard is known for its handcrafted cocktails. The Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita is a sweet and spicy blend of strawberry-infused tequila, naranja, fresh lime juice, and agave sweetener, then topped with jalapeño-infused ice cubes for gradual heat and a tajin rim for an extra tangy kick. These combined flavors create a daring drink that is also beautiful to look at, right at home in the Neon Mallard’s moody, speakeasy-style lounge. This bold margarita is especially refreshing after a long day hiking the San Juans or unwinding in the town’s favorite hot springs.
