Cocktails at Pepita

$12-$14

Long day? The “El Chapo,” a crafty blend of mezcal, dry curacao, lemon, nutmeg and tamarind-infused falernum (a nice flavor profile for winter that isn’t too heavy) may be just the ticket to help you wind down. Alternately, you can’t go wrong with a classic margarita. Both pair nicely with an order of crispy mahi mahi tacos and a side of guac.
