Drink of the Week: The Rosarito

Are you trying to get drunk after just one drink but find shots a
little too much to handle? Well, then the Rosarito at Chili Pepper in
Orange is hands down the drink for you. Even the cute, green bow-tie
wearing waiters refuse to serve more than two to any client–and that
alone speaks volumes.

It comes served over ice in a classic
margarita glass with a straw. And don't kid yourself, it tastes like
tequila–tequila cleverly disguised in a bath of Triple Sec and Sweet
and Sour. In fact, those are the drink's only three ingredients. But
they're enough. More than enough. After the one I had at lunch today, I
began seeing the chili peppers on the table cloth spinning and my lunch
partner's jokes were strangely entertaining–much more entertaining than
usual. Trust me.

Yeah, I'm feeling a little like taking a nap
now. Enjoy yours with some of the restaurant's famous enchiladas next
time you're in Orange.

Night-night.
