There is perhaps no better place in La Paz to enjoy a beach side breakfast, lunch or a Damiana Margarita & CostaBaja Sunset. CostaBaja Beach Club is located just steps away from the waters of the Bay of La Paz. One of the favorite items on the bar menu is the Margarita with a Baja twist. A splash of Damiana Liqueur is an addition that adds a local flavor to the popular summertime beverage.

Damiana is a desert herb that grows from Texas to Central America, but is a cultivated crop just down the road in Todos Santos. Long reputed to be an aphrodisiac, the liqueur produced from it here in Mexico adds the local flavor to the Beach Club’s Margaritas in the place of the traditional Triple Sec.

If you are unable to visit the Beach Club this evening for a beautiful sunset over the Bay of La Paz we will provide you with these clues to the secret recipe to make one at home.

1/2 oz Damiana or to taste
