Tennessee summers are not any joke, which is why the house owners of Tío Enjoyable went and received themselves a soft-serve machine and began making cups of margarita-inspired concoctions. But when the considered lime, Tajín and milk offers you pause, don’t worry: There’s no dairy within the margarita soft-serve, which is predicated on a pineapple whip, although the lime providing does include alcohol.
Co-owner Mikey Corona says the soft-serve margarita will likely be supplied year-round (or for “so long as the machine works”), and lime would be the mainstay taste. The nonalcoholic margarita soft-serve taste will rotate. When the Scene sampled the nonalcoholic choice in June, it was mango, however strawberry and pineapple have additionally stuffed the slot. Clients may also order a swirl of the 2 flavors — Corona’s favourite order.
The lime definitely feels like a easy margarita, and whereas it’s not too boozy, the ample serving measurement means you would possibly wish to seize a plate of tacos or a torta earlier than digging in. (Which it’s best to do anyway.) The combo of lime and mango tasted nice (candy and citrus can’t miss), however as a fan of tart flavors, I’d name stand-alone lime the winner.
No matter taste you select, the cup appears to be like nice: The brilliant, mountainous swirl is inviting, garnished with a slice of fruit so as to add the contact of aptitude you’d count on from a conventional cocktail. There have been a couple of impressed gasps on the Scene’s desk when taste-testing the boozy and non-boozy treats.
The soft-serve feels extra like a dessert than one thing to pair with a hearty meal — you would possibly wish to follow Tío Enjoyable’s frozen margarita for that — however I do assume it really works effectively when sharing nachos with the desk. Plus the scale is a part of the attraction. The colourful restaurant performs host to pleased hours and thematic brunches, so present up, seize a cup and keep awhile.
