When Marlow’s Tavern Executive Chef, CEO & Co-Founder John C. Metz and Manager of Adult Beverages Rick Blumberg were crafting the summer cocktail list for Marlow’s they wanted a twist on the traditional margarita. Blumberg notes that margaritas can be a bit heavy and sweet, while this version, featuring lime and cucumber is extremely refreshing and light. The cocktail brings the garden into the glass and is perfect for summer! Visit Marlow's at Avalon and check out the menu and hours at MarlowsTavern.com.
