Real Mex Restaurants Inc.
El Torito, a Real Mex Restaurants brand with over 30 units, will reveal its latest Margarita, the Mariposa, on National Tequila Day. The 24-oz. sip is made with organic tequila, ancho chile liqueur, pineapple juice, mango juice, butterfly tea and a float of Cointreau. Because of the butterfly tea, which is made from the butterfly pea flour, the drink has a blue hue that changes to purple when the final ingredients are added. A version of this drink also will become available on July 24 at 8-unit Acapulco, another Real Mex Restaurants brand, as the Mariposa Azul. Real Mex Restaurants is based in Cypress, Calif., and has 78 restaurants and seven brands.
