At Blanco Cocina + Cantina, the buzzy Mexican spot in the 9+Co. development that’s part of restaurateur Sam Fox’s eponymous empire, the buzzy margaritas come with an extra shot of happy.
“Sam Fox named this drink after one of his best friends—a guy our higher-shelf cocktails.” nicknamed Dodge, who always drank a margarita with Don Julio and a Grand Marnier float. We’ve since changed the tequila we used to make it, but its origin story remains the same.”—Isabella Hagaman, Blanco Cocina + Cantina Bartender.
