Cinco de Mayo is coming
Okay all. Cinco de Mayo is coming and you need some drinks for the party, or just some light spring beverages. You have come to the right place. I have a list of drinks and recipes and I am constantly trying them and making new ones. I will put the good ones here and if you have something to recommend, let me know.
Cinco de Mayo - various versions are online and here is the one we like the best.
2 1/2 oz. Tequila (White preferred)
1 oz. Grenadine
1 oz. Lime Juice
Shake with Ice and serve in a lowball glass
The benefit of this one is there is no juice, so it is pretty light and made up of the colors used in the Mexican flag. I tried to float the ingredients but you shake it anyway so no point.
Green Mexican
3 oz. White Tequila
3 oz. Midori Melon Liquer (for the green)
Sweet and Sour Mix
Fill a highball with ice. Mix the Tequila and Midori.
Fill with Sour Mix and shake.
Garnish with a Cherry and/or Orange slice.
This drink is green and yummy, a little sweet. Yes it is Green.
Pineapple Sunrise (My girlfriend likes this one)
3 oz. Tequila
6 oz. Pineapple juice
1 oz. Lime Juice
2 tsp. Grenadine
Mix all ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice.
Serve in lowball over ice - the drink should be a nice pink color.
The final drink for today isn't Mexican but uses Cachaca, a Brazilian liquer.
Blue Havaiana
2 oz. Cachaca
2 oz. Orange Juice
2 oz. Pineapple Juice
2 tsp Superfine Sugar
splash Blue Curacao
Shake all ingredients with ice (except Blue Curacao).
Pour over ice, finish with the splash of the Blue Curacao.
Garnish with an orange wedge.
I really liked it, but beware, Cachaca is hard to find and an acquired taste.
However, acquired tastes also include fine Scotch so that is not a bad thing.
Enjoy your drink. AC out.

My newest Blog.
Okay, so moving on I won't have enough time to do blog on everything in my life everyday and you don't have time to read them, but if you want a review of a bar, a drink, or a new drink, this will be the place to go.
