At Salud Taqueria, bold flavors and playful presentation are the name of the game—and nowhere is that more evident than in the Al Pastor Margarita. Partner and beverage director José Medina Camacho layers smoky mezcal with pineapple-achiote syrup in a nod to the traditional taco al pastor. The result? A rich, balanced sip that brings the fire of the grill to your glass.
