🔥 Smoked Old Fashioned? Say less.
🌵 Prickly Pear Margarita? Absolutely.
🍸 Something that’s NOT on the menu? CHALLENGE HIM.

Tell Josh what you like, what you’re in the mood for, or just say “surprise me” and see what happens.

Basically, if you can dream it and we’ve got the ingredients, Josh is ready to shake it, stir it, smoke it, or pour it.

Come hungry. Come thirsty. And bring Josh your best drink request tonight at Azul Cantina. 🍹🔥
