The two drinks offered by the B&H book - Pina Colada and Strawberry Margarita - certainly contribute to the party reputation I discovered in what used to be Annie's Santa Fe. Quotes from the KC Guys blog:
Annie’s Santa Fe was a Kansas City Mexican food restaurant chain that was very popular in the 80’s and 90’s. Annie’s was a lot of things to a lot of people and you might not have known that Annie’s also had a wild side, a very wild side.
At sundown this lovable Mexican restaurant turned into a disco scene that introduced Kansas City to margaritas, tequila shots and bad pickup lines. Annie’s Santa Fe was a wild swinging suburban yuppie disco “Sex-Mex” bar. The bar scene at Annie’s was rad and regularly featured Royal players, power drinkers, brawls, big-haired women, stonewashed jeans and mullets on proud parade. Chiefs players took over the bar on Sunday nights. If you know anyone that is currently in their late 40’s they probably have an Annie’s war story for you.
Regretfully, Annie's Santa Fe is no longer. Details hazy, but it appears the restaurant closed up shop in the mid-90s, and the only traces that exist now are stories, matchbooks for sale on eBay, and a beef empanada recipe.
Annie's Frozen Strawberry Margarita
- 1 1/2 oz. gold tequila
- 1/2 oz. triple sec
- 1 oz. lemon or 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice (edit: why not both!?)
- 4 oz. frozen strawberries in sugar and juice
- 1 fresh strawberry
Place all but the fresh strawberry in a blender with a handful of crushed ice. Blend until almost frozen. Pour in 13 oz. glass.
