Okay, there are drinks, and then there are drinks. Whatever your heart desires in the world of tequila drinks, know that the Vida Cantina\\n can accommodate you. Now, obviously I couldn't taste them all. Chris \\nand I stuck with the mixed drinks. If you ask Drew, he'll recommend his\\n favorite, the Millionaire Margarita. An excellent drink and despite \\nit's name, is actually cheaper then most of their margaritas. Me? The \\nPartita with a Grand Marnier float and a rim of course Kosher salt, and the Skinny Margarita with a course Kosher salt rim, were my \\nfavorites.

Okay, there are drinks, and then there are drinks. Whatever your heart desires in the world of tequila drinks, know that the Vida Cantina
can accommodate you. Now, obviously I couldn't taste them all. Chris
and I stuck with the mixed drinks. If you ask Drew, he'll recommend his
favorite, the Millionaire Margarita. An excellent drink and despite
it's name, is actually cheaper then most of their margaritas. Me? The
Partita with a Grand Marnier float and a rim of course Kosher salt, and the Skinny Margarita with a course Kosher salt rim, were my
favorites.
Partita
Do not, under any circumstances dine or drink in any way shape or form
without trying the Partita. What is it? It's to die for, as in I could
wake up in the morning and happily drink a Vida Partita with a Grande Marnier float and kosher salt rim... and I am not a drinker by any
stretch of the imagination. More specifically, it's a mixed drink, an
all-natural margarita made with Jose Cuervo Tradicional
tequila, 100% organic agave nectar and fresh-squeezed lime juice. On
the rim, coarse kosher salt, just the right amount, and blends into the
drink perfectly on the lips and pallet. Ours had the edition of a Grande Marnier float, something you'll have to ask for as an addition.
Well worth the extra bit of cash (about three dollars more).
Skinny Margarita

So what's the skinny on the skinny? While it was no Partita, it was the
best skinny I'd ever tasted. It had that alcohol tang flavor you normally
don't get from a skinny, which, as has been my experience, is usually
watered down in the flavor department. So if you're into skinny (about
half the calories of a regular margarita), Vida's Skinny Margarita is a
must drink.
So what's the scoop on Vida's other evolved Mexican cuisine temptations, and what would I recommend (details and photos)?
