Three Happy Hours You Don't Want to Miss in Sayulita, Riviera Nayarit Stacey Elkins - Sayulita Life
go to original April 26, 2016

Regardless of whether you’re in Sayulita on vacation or call Sayulita home, the warm weather and easygoing vibe of the pueblo makes happy hour with friends and family a highlight of the day. Make note of the following bars/restaurants that have great happy hour deals and an ambiance that will put you at ease, want to raise your glass, and be grateful that you’re in Sayulita.
 
El Patio

A new spot in Sayulita, El Patio, is set just off the beach, offering a quiet refuge from all the beach action and other restaurants in the area. Under a shaded pergola, you’ll find small terracotta planters filled with plants atop rustic tables, which are paired with white backed chairs with cushions the color of the tropical sea. The ambiance is bright and inviting and is perfect for kicking back with either a margarita rosita or margarita azul.

The margarita Rosita, refreshing with an inviting tartness, is served on the rocks and is a combination of tequila, clove infused jamaica, and fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. On the other hand, the margarita azul is frozen, and is the perfect blend of sweet and salty, with a tad of smokiness, and is made with double distilled Raicilla Estancia, rosemary syrup, blue curacao, and fresh squeezed lime juice.

Happy Hour Specials  - Wednesday through Monday 4:00 - 7:00 pm:
2 x 1 Margarita Rosita - 90 pesos
2 x 1 Margarita Azul - 90 pesos
Buy any 2 cocktails off the menu and get 1 free Margarita Azul  *this offer cannot be combined with the other happy hour specials*

Latitude 20

While not right off the water, Latitude 20 is just a block away, and has a relaxing surf, tropical vibe. Offering both indoor and outdoor seating, paper lanterns hang above head, and bamboo plants, palm trees, and other tropical foliage makes one feel right at home. Panels along the back of the bar are painted in bright, bold colors and show tumbling waves and vibrant sunshine, really adding to the tropic feel. A variety of upbeat music, including reggae, funk, and rock, is sure to get one in the party mood.

The tropical sangria is made with Mexican red or white wine (L.A. Cetto), a touch of brandy and vodka, a blend of tropical juices, fresh squeezed lime juice, and a splash of mineral water. It’s refreshing and sweet, but not too sweet, with just a tad of tartness. The house tequila (from Tequila) is a lovely golden color and is barrel aged in house. Two ounces of organic espresso and half an ounce of organic vanilla are added to each 20 liters, giving this tequila a faint, delicate, roasty flavor, and an amazing smoothness.  This is served with an orange with a sprinkle of cinnamon, further adding to your tasting experience.

Happy Hour Specials  - Monday through Saturday 3:30 – 7:00 pm:
2 x 1 Lime Margarita – 70 pesos
Tropical Sangria – 45 pesos
House White/Red Wine – 45 pesos
