My mother never encouraged the use of straws — they cause wrinkles, she says. That’s bad enough, but there are also serious consequences to the environment that have caused bars and restaurants to turn away from disposable plastic straws altogether. “There’s already been a conversation going on within our industry,…
Our favorite Derby/Cinco mix-up we’ve heard about so far is the Fresa Patrón Julep at Jalisco Norte made with strawberry and pepper-infused tequila with a jammy French liqueur. Just different enough to pique our interest, just familiar enough to celebrate the best two minutes in sports.
