Proprietors LLC•

Looking to go beyond a margarita this Cinco de Mayo? Star bartenders Alexander Day and David Kaplan of Proprietors LLC recently created a dozen new cocktails for the Rosa Mexicana restaurants.

The pulpy and refreshing La Mandarina tequila cocktail is reminiscent of a Caipirinha, but as the name suggests, it calls for tequila rather than cachaça, and uses the citrus flavor of the tangerine to play alongside the tequila.

As if you needed another reason to drink it, it pairs extremely well with guacamole.
