The Tijuana Quencher

While the title of this recipe might sound like something you look for in the kinky back pages of The New Haven Advocate, it is actually a refreshing and puckery little number, perfect for accompanying some Latin jazz on the turntable. We take a regular margarita and jack it up with some freshly squeezed juices. You'll feel it in your forearms after prepping for this one! Aye yai yai!


First, squeeze some oranges and some limes to make your mixing juices. Set aside. In a shaker, pour a couple of shots of Sauza, ice, cranberry juice, and just a couple drops of triple sec. You can make this as boozy or sweet as you deem fit (obviously, we know how Tiki weighs in on that one!). Add your fresh juices and shake with vigor. Pour into dainty margarita glasses rimmed with salt and lime wheels. This drink got high marks at the Tiki Bar last week. What we most enjoyed was that it drank more like a classy tequila cocktail rather than a trashy 'rita from your local Chi-Chi's Restaurant. Hope you like it as much as we did.
XO!
