Puesto Pours a Wellness-Minded Margarita With Cymbiotika

09.28.26

At Puesto, good food has always been about how guests feel when they leave. So the restaurant asked a fair question: why shouldn't the margaritas do the same?

Puesto has teamed up with Cymbiotika, the San Diego-based wellness brand known for its science-backed supplements, clean ingredients and liposomal delivery system, to bring that thinking to the bar. The result is a short lineup of margaritas built on premium ingredients, bold flavor and a few wellness-minded additions.

It's a natural pairing. Both are Southern California brands that have made ingredient integrity and transparency part of the pitch, and Cymbiotika's products are now carried by major retailers nationwide.

Two new margaritas anchored by 818 Tequila, a 100% blue Weber agave tequila produced in Jalisco's Los Valles region, join the beverage menu, along with a nonalcoholic option.

Order one with your favorite taco and toast to good food, good drinks and feeling great.

The new functional margaritas with Cymbiotika include:

MAR VERDE
818 blanco tequila, kiwi, cilantro, lime,
Cymbiotika Irish Sea Moss (Lemon Vanilla)
supports: glowing skin + gut balance

PEACHES Y CREMA 
818 blanco tequila, vecinos mezcal, peaches, coconut cream,
Cymbiotika Liposomal Glutathione (Citrus Vanilla)
supports: detox, glow, gut balance

PIÑA SPRITZ non-alcoholic 
pineapple, elderflower, Crodino aperitivo, lemon,
Cymbiotika Liposomal D3+K2+CoQ10 (Tangerine)
supports: immunity + bone strength

Puesto’s new functional beverages with Cymbiotika will be available at all Puesto locations beginning September 21, 2026. For more information, please visit eatpuesto.com.

Pete’s Spookeasy Returns to Huntington Beach This Fall

09.26.26

Pete's Spookeasy is back at Pete's Sunset Grille inside Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa, running Sept. 27 through Nov. 2. The coastal restaurant gets a full Halloween makeover for the occasion, with themed decor, a spooky food and drink menu, and a few movie nights thrown in for good measure.

The food leans into the theme without losing sight of flavor. Starters include Dracula Bat Wings and a Char-BOO-terie board, and from there diners can order the Grill-Reaper's Ribeye, a 10-ounce house-butchered rib eye with crispy fries and cowboy butter, or the Haunted Harbor Cake, a lump crab cake with roasted corn salsa and house remoulade. The Pasta From the Black Lagoon is squid ink spaghetti with sauteed shrimp and lobster cream sauce, and the Haunted Harvest Pot Pie is exactly the kind of thing you want on a cooler fall night. Round it out with the Poultrygeist Sandwich or Pete's Monster Wave Burger.

Cocktails get the same treatment. The Black Magic Margarita is made with Lalo Blanco Tequila, fresh blackberries, lemon and lime juices, agave nectar and a black salt rim. There's also a tropical Creepy Colada, and Potion No. 13, which combines pumpkin-washed Templeton Rye Whiskey with pumpkin pie spice syrup. For dessert, the Witches Brew Tiramisu is made with chai tea-soaked chocolate lady fingers and purple sweet potato mascarpone mousse, and the Poison Apple Toffee Pudding comes with apple compote, miso caramel and vanilla bean streusel.

New this year, the resort is adding Pete's Spooktacular Movie Nights, a series of outdoor screenings in the Lighthouse Courtyard throughout October. Bring the popcorn and warm apple cider mindset for Hotel Transylvania on Oct. 9, Monsters, Inc. on Oct. 16, Hocus Pocus on Oct. 24, Coco on Oct. 30 and Ghostbusters on Oct. 31. The screenings are free and open to resort guests and locals alike, but reservations are required.

Pete's Sunset Grille sits right on the coast, so the setting alone is worth the trip. Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa has 519 guestrooms and suites, a private pedestrian sky bridge with direct beach access, and plenty of dining and wellness options if you want to make a longer stay of it.

The Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa is located at 21500 Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Beach, CA. For more information or to make a reservation, visit the hotel’s website.
