PRIME TIME 10 May 2017 Santa Fe Spotlight Passports Give Access To Santa Fe’s Margarita Trail By Prime Time Staff T he list of things that can be considered “Santa Fe style,” such as clothing, furniture, jewelry and art, just got a little longer. Add margaritas to the list. On Cinco de Mayo, Tourism Santa Fe begins selling “passports” for what it is calling its Margarita Trail, where participating restaurants and pubs each make their unique margaritas for anyone carrying a “trail passport.” The passport allows the holder to collect stamps for each place they visit and sip, or devour, their margaritas. The passport is good forever, or until a restaurant no longer participates. As most New Mexicans know, a margarita goes well with just about any dinner, so the venues on the trail also showcase some of the best cuisine in Santa Fe. This year, there are 31 margaritas on the trail, and all are made with 100 percent agave tequila. Here’s how to get on the Margarita Trail and collect the passport stamps: 1. Purchase your Santa Fe Margarita Trail Passport for $3 at any Tourism Santa Fe Visitor Center or Margarita Trail-participating restaurant. (See information box). 2. Along the Margarita Trail, present your passport for a $1 discount on the special margarita offered by the participating restaurant. 3. Ask your bartender or server to stamp and date your passport before you leave. You can earn a maximum of two stamps per day. 4. Collect stamps from different stops along the Margarita Trail. • After collecting five, you’ll earn a commemorative T-shirt to proudly display your Santa Fe margarita passion. • With 20 stamps, you will receive a signed copy of The Great Margarita Book. • Complete all stops on the trail, and receive your own Margarita Bartender Kit. 5. T- shirt and other prizes may only be redeemed at the Downtown Santa Fe Visitor Center located in the Plaza Galeria, 66 E. San Francisco Street, Suite 3. 6. All passports remain valid for the life of the Santa Fe Margarita Trail and are fully transferable.
