Whoa there pardner, Phil & Derek’s is a wine bar with a wine and beer retailerspermit (known as a BG) not a full liquor license. So how are they servingmargaritas? Well, the same way that a lot of smaller taquerias are. They’re madewith wine, not tequila.

There’s the Custom Reef Superior rum profile wine, Kalana wine that tastespretty much like real Kahlua and more.
