Parlor is celebrating National Margarita Day with a new cocktail recipe, a pineapple and serrano-spiked margarita with an eye-catching black salt rim. The sweet-spicy syrup brings a kick that balances with the aged tequila and sweet pineapple. The black sea salt rim is a striking change; finish the cocktail by eating the edible dried fruit garnish.
Don’t want to make this one at home? The Playing Hooky is on the menu now at Parlor OKC!
Cheers!
