The Cherry Cricket

Fresh lime juice adds a zesty punch, while firewater, Fresno chilies and a tajin rim introduce a fiery kick that heats things up. This sweet and spicy combination pairs perfectly with The Cherry Cricket’s award-winning burgers which boast creative toppings from green chili to a Chile Relleno.
