La Platicona Habla: Tastes, Passions and Pursuits

For food lovers, hungry people, and cooking officionados or novices. This blog is for people who are real cooks, wannabe cooks, or no cooks at all. Almost all of these recipes are vegetarian, some use seafood. Recipes are creations of my own, adaptations from cookbooks, or from other internet sources with links.

Tequila!

July 22, 2010

I had a really delicious cocktail at Tag restaurant last week.  It was called an Amante Picante. If you prefer salty to sweet, this drink is for you.  The basic ingredients are lime, cilantro, English cucumber, and tequila.  I didn't know the ratio of things so I made it up.
3 limes, juiced
1 mini cucumber, do not use a traditional cucumber (I didn't peel it, hence the dark green colo)
1 half jalapeno
Small Handful of clean cilantro

Throw it all in a blender, then pour through a civ to remove pulp.  Add limes to adjust flavor.  I poured 2 shots of mix to one shot tequila.  I didn't add enough lime to mine, but I liked the strong flavor.  I am going to try it again soon, with more limes next time, and by peeling the cucumber first!

Drink and enjoy responsibly!
