Citrus & Salt

Looking for a little Baja flair to warm things up this winter? Don’t book that flight to Cabo just yet—all the agave-loaded cocktails you could possibly ask for are waiting right on the edge of Back Bay at Citrus & Salt. This bright and cheery venue excels at the art of cocktail-crafting, offering a wealth of options ranging from the ultra-smooth and citrusy Beautiful Liar to the lychee-loaded Baecation, a drink that accents its rich fruit flavors with Flor de Caña rum. Of course, no visit is complete without sipping on this spot’s flagship cocktail—the Citrus & Salt Margarita, a beloved classic that comes in six different flavors.

First he brought us the frozen watermelon rosé margarita. Then, in the early days of lockdown, he brought us margarita mixes to-go. Now that his restaurants are back up and running, acclaimed chef Jason Santos has returned with the full coastal Mexican cuisine experience, from butter-poached lobster tacos to small plates of grilled street corn, blue crab taquitos, and shrimp and blue corn grits. Margaritas and tequila cocktails are still front and center, and all of it is still available for pick-up and delivery.
