A new viral drink has been introduced to the Boogie Down – a soft serve margarita.<\/p>\n
Colima Taqueria in Throggs Neck is an authentic Mexican restaurant that introduced this drink to New York City.<\/p>\n
Manager Jason Jim\u00e9nez says this drink is bringing in people from out of state to try it.<\/p>\n
“It’s a taste of heaven, as people come here and say,” he says.<\/p>\n
Owner Bryan Centeno doesn’t take all the credit for this drink. He says he found the idea from a restaurant in Texas. He decided to bring it to New York and put his own spin on it.<\/p>\n
“We all came as a family, and we, we thought about recipes and started creating them, and that’s how the soft serve Margarita was born in New York,” he says.<\/p>\n
The staff says they draw crowds by mixing today’s trends with authentic Mexican food.<\/p>\n
“My mother, she was born and raised in Mexico. She came out here to live a better life and to bring her family and all the recipes from our family back home,” says Centeno.<\/p>\n
Centeno says starting up this family-owned business was far from easy.<\/p>\n
“We went through a lot of struggles\u2026it was a home-based business at first. We kind of grew our Instagram followings, our marketing through home. We sold a lot of our tacos through our home. And we’re here now,” says Centeno.<\/p>\n
With summer temperatures rising, Colima Taqueria says this trend shows no signs of slowing down- proving this creamy cocktail might be more than just a trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new viral drink has been introduced to the Boogie Down – a soft serve margarita.
