The Mariposa Azul at Mexquisito, 712 Massachusetts St.

Lots of people either love tequila or cringe at the thought of it. Same goes for the flavor of anise (tastes like black licorice). Love both? Try the Mariposa Azul, a tall glass of premium silver tequila, vodka, blue anise liqueur and Sprite.

This cocktail, which translates to “blue butterfly,” is bright blue like its namesake, an especially beautiful species found in the rainforests of Mexico and other Latin American countries.

The hard stuff: Patrón Silver tequila, vodka and blue anise liqueur.

Where it’s served:Mexquisito, 712 Massachusetts St.
