Mexican Mombo Taxi

With the weather warming up, it's an ideal time to sit outside and enjoy a frozen adult beverage! Intrigued by all of the positive reviews, I decided to check out the newly opened Mi Cocina. After perusing the extensive cocktail list, I opted to try the highly recommended and infamous - Mambo Taxi. 

The Mambo Taxi is a blend of frozen margarita swirled with fruity sangria. It is a cool and tasty thirst quencher. But drinker beware - they are sneakily potent. Given the restaurant's strategic location amongst the Collection shops in Chevy Chase, be careful not to do too much damage while drunken shopping at Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo or Gucci.

Making the Mambo Taxi at home:

ingredients

• 3 ounces fresh lime juice
• 2 1/2 ounces Sauza Silver Tequila
• 1 1/2 ounces Hiram Walker Triple Sec
• 6 large ice cubes
• 1 1/2 ounces high quality Spanish Sangria
• 1 ounce Brandy

directions
Puree lime juice, tequila, triple sec and ice cubes in blender. Pour into a 9 ounce glass. Swirl in the sangria, then the brandy.
