Hibiscus Sangria
Since Wednesday is Cinco de Mayo I wanted to post a classic cocktail that would be perfect for the Mexican holiday. No, it’s not the margarita. Don’t get me wrong, blended or on the rocks, the margarita is the first cocktail I think of when May 5th rolls around. But it’s not the only option.… Continue reading Hibiscus Sangria
Sangrita
No, this isn’t a different kind of of Sangria (that’ll come in the next week or two). This is actually a non-alcoholic drink from Mexico that’s perfect for Cinco de Mayo tomorrow. Why would I talk about a virgin drink on the blog? Because last week I talked about the Paloma: an alternative to the… Continue reading Sangrita

But that’s no reason to get upset, because those longer days mean more beach time and more… Continue reading Clase Azul, A Tequila Sunrise and Pimiento Azul
Margarita Cocktail – 2 ways
For the past couple months every time I go to the farmer’s market, there are at least half a dozen vendors selling every kind of citrus known to man. I’ve seen pomelos, grapefruits, tangerines, navel oranges, blood oranges, lemons, limes, Meyer lemons, you name it. I’ve always loved the citrus fruits, but I tend to… Continue reading Margarita Cocktail – 2 ways
