Ortega, a newly opened beachside restaurant serves its own Caipirinha de Fruta with frozen peaches and peach schnapps. It teams handily with Ortega's modern Mexican cuisine, such as bite-size tacos de atún crudo with ahi tuna, jicama and mango salad, and ceviche de tilapia. "The fresh flavors go brilliantly with the clean fruity flavor of the drink," says owner Demi Stevens.
