Royal Rita
1
The Royal Rita is a vodka-based riff off on a margarita. Simple, refreshing, bright, and with the perfect amount of sour mouthfeel, minus the pucker. The vodka is made from 100% organic New England corn. From this flavor-forward sweet base, they added a pepper note with the Three Chile Syrup, and rounded it out with a sour mix made from fresh-squeezed lemons and limes (no additives, no concentrate, no preservatives). The chile syrup is—as us New Englanders put it—wicked tasty. For those of you who want to hold on to the warmish autumn days before fully embracing the cooler air that awaits, this is a sweet and sour vacation inspiration. And somehow this tastes like it might just have tequila in it. They’ve done a really nice job on this rita-riff.
