" Chipotle has tried a few tactics to bring back its formerly booming business following the\u00A0foodborne illness hysteria\u2014from giving away free food to hiring\u00A0food safety consulting firms. But its latest move might actually do the trick. Mostly because it involves copious amounts of booze.\u00A0 According to Westword, one location of the burrito chain has been selected to test-run a new spiked drinks menu that includes\u00A0frozen margaritas, sangria,\u00A0a cooler full of\u00A0canned and\u00A0bottled beer, plus at least one brew on tap. The new lineup was created in conjunction with\u00A0sommelier Richard Betts, who said the concept was based on one question:\u00A0&amp;quot;How do we offer beverages with integrity?&amp;quot;\u00A0 While Chipotle has offered a standard on-the-rocks marg since the company first launched 20 years ago, the new iteration is a frozen concoction\u00A0made with mexcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, plus Astral tequila and agave syrup, ice, and lime juice. There&amp;#039;s a distinct smoky hint to each sip thanks to the addition of mezcal, Betts points out.\u00A0  The sangria isn&amp;#039;t made in house. Instead, the crew opted for a bottled version from California called Eppa Sangria. Soon, though, Chipotle will be using kegs of the wine cocktail\u00A0to cut back on waste. For suds, Betts chose Oskar Blues Beerito (a Vienna Mexican lager) on tap and Modelo Especial in cans. But there also a few non-alcoholic additions as well, including watermelon agua fresca and a hibiscus tea jolted with lemongrass.\u00A0The lucky location is situated at Sixth Avenue and Broadway in Denver\u00A0because of its expansive patio, which\u2014let&amp;#039;s be honest\u2014is ideal for boozing under the sun.\u00A0 So far, the company says it hasn&amp;#039;t set a timeline for rolling\u00A0out this program to the rest of the country just yet, but we&amp;#039;re keeping our fingers crossed. And so should you.\u00A0  Follow Delish on Instagram. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
