Grin Reaper

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is celebrating the big 100 (centennial birthday, that is)—and the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is giving us the best gift of all: La Hacienda’s new Cien Sonrisas margarita. Concocted of the finest ingredients the margarita-making world has to offer, including Grand Marnier Cuvée du Centenaire and Don Julio 1942 Anejo Tequila, there’s a reason why this cocktail’s name translates to 100 Smiles (and we don’t think we have to spell it out for you). 480.585.4848, www.fairmont.com/scottsdale.
