13 Tacos and Taps, Food Diary of a City Girl and Nancy Thapa Collaborate to Host a “Margarita Battle” to Benefit Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina
Raleigh’s 13 Tacos and Taps is hosting their first ever “Margarita Battle” to benefit the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. The battle features local food bloggers Cecilia “Cece” Moreno of Food Diary of A City Girl and Nancy Thapa. The two bloggers have created their own unique margaritas that will be featured at 13 Tacos and Taps from July 27th-Aug. 7th. For each cocktail sold, $1 will be donated to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina to help combat hunger in the community. The “Margarita Battle” winner will be announced on Aug. 7th on 13 Tacos and Taps’ social media platforms and will be determined by which margarita was the top seller.
The two margaritas up for battle include:
“Tamarind Margarita” by Cece Moreno of Food Diary of A City Girl
This margarita features tamarind pulp simple syrup using sour tamarind pods. Served in a rocks glass with a Tajín coated rim.
“OOO-Out of Office” by Nancy Thapa
Mango and passionfruit margarita topped with diced mangoes, mint and a black salt rim.
