Runaway Margarita
The Story
Every bar worth it’s salt offers a Margarita (pun intended). The Runaway Anchor has a specific recipe that is sure to delight the crowd. Stick with Reposado Tequila for this one versus Blanco. And up your Triple Sec game with Grand Marnier or other Cognac based orange liqueur. The real treat comes with the Agave Syrup. It’s crucial to be comfortable making your own syrups, and this one is no more challenge than a Simple Syrup (1:1 sugar and water). Our agave syrup is just 1 part agave and 1 part water. Heat it, dissolve it, and cool it, and you’re good to go! If you’re mixing for many, ramp up the ratios! The power of our amazing House Margarita is now in your hands!
