Jimmy Buffet’s® Margaritaville® Panama City Beach Hits Refresh
NEW ITEMS BRING A FRESH ATTITUDE TO ITS COASTAL MENU
Jimmy Buffett’s® Margaritaville® Panama City Beach launched a refreshed menu featuring more than 15 new and enhanced dishes and drinks. The new recipes rely heavily upon the inherent flavor of fresh and house-made ingredients to enhance and define the personality of each dish, making it possible to ensure optimal flavor. The fresh new items to be experienced, from made-to-order appetizers, new entrees, and desserts for splurging and sharing to handcrafted margaritas. Fans of the brand will be pleased to know that their favorite signature items are still there and even elevated to a new level.
Margaritaville’s® iconic name brings to mind the desire in everyone to kick back and escape the everyday, if only for a few hours. Nostalgic island moments come to life with new appetizers like the “Drunken” Shrimp Skillet, shrimp sautéed in tequila key lime butter, roasted garlic and peppers with a mini baguette for dipping and Asiago Crab Dip, filled with lump crabmeat and served with grilled crostini.
The Bites section takes guests back to waterfront beach bars they love to visit with small plates to mix-and-match or share, ranging from the Maryland-Style Crab Cake Slider, topped with shredded lettuce and jalapeño tartar sauce, a Grilled Shrimp Skewer, seasoned with a jerk glaze and Beach Tacos, filled your way with Carne Asada, Pork Carnitas or Chicken Tinga.
The new LandShark Lager Fish and Chips takes this classic to a sublime level with its crispy crust, thanks to the thinnest and lightest of batters made with Margaritaville’s® signature beer. Chimichurri Flat Iron Steak is served with fries and chimichurri, the perfect sauce for grilled meats. Shrimp Trio is a combo of blackened, coconut crusted and island lime sautéed shrimp served with French fries, cilantro lime coleslaw, Key West cocktail and jalapeño tartar sauce.
New desserts for splurging and sharing include the Chocolate Hurricane, which is everything the name implies, and Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding made with chocolate chips and fresh bananas.
In true Margaritaville® spirit, the menu maintains and enhances its signatures ranging from the Cheeseburger in Paradise®, a handcrafted choice burger topped with American cheese, lettuce, sliced tomato, pickles and paradise island sauce to Crispy Coconut Shrimp, jumbo shrimp crusted with coconut and golden fried, served with horseradish-orange marmalade dipping sauce, French fries and cilantro lime coleslaw.Worthy of the name Margaritaville®, the new Margaritas and Boat Drinks menu offers too many new cocktails, tequilas, margaritas and boat drinks to list. A few highlights include: the Blueberry Pomegranate Margarita, Margaritaville Silver Tequila, Cointreau® Orange Liqueur, blueberry pomegranate purée; Planter’s Punch, Appleton Rum VX, Sailor Jerry’s Spiced Rum, freshly blended sweet and sour, pineapple juice, pomegranate and a dash of bitters; The Watermelon Agave Fresca with Margaritaville Silver Tequila, watermelon puree and the proprietary lime agave blend with a splash of soda; and an abundant collection of Tequilas served as shots with sangrita, the tomato based chaser made in house.
