Mi Dia From Scratch

When life gives you lemons, Mi Dia slices them up and makes killer margaritas. This hotspot is known for “The Cloud 9,” a bright orange margarita made from Código 1530 Blanco Rose Tequila, Cointreau Noir, smoked vanilla agave, and lemon and lime juice.

It’s topped with elusive “hibiscus air.” What, you may ask, is hibiscus air? It’s a molecular gastronomy technique that blends sucro and hibiscus in an immersion blender to form the garnish.

M Dia brings a selection of margs, along with $30 and $50 select premium Tequila Flights, and $8 to $10 Infused Flights all holiday long.

Mi Dia From Scratch, all locations, 972.403.7474, midiafromscratch.com.
