I Dream of Mexico...

Every Spring Break I go to Mexico. Sunny Days, Sandy Beaches, Beautiful Sunsets, All-inclusive resorts, Amazing Food - - - oh - - - and one helluva party!!!!

Spring Break is a few months away still, but I have a friend going to Cancun for her 30th birthday end of this month and it has be craving to be in Mexico too... sadly, I can't miss work to go... but here is a way to bring Mexico to me... and to you if you'd like to try these awesome drinks.... I shall do a post on Mexican Food eventually, but for now, let's focus on the booze!

3 parts Vodka

1 part Lime Juice

3 parts Corono

Rim martini glass with salt. Mix all but Corono with ice in shaker. Serve in prepared martini glass. Top with Corona and garnish with a lime wedge.

Also try this:

Mexican Greyhound

3 parts Vodka

1 part Grapefruit Juice

Mix all with ice in shaker. Serve in chilled martini glass. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.



Mexican Water Martini

1 part Tequila

1 part Lime Juice

Rim martini glass with salt. Mix with ice in shaker. Serve in prepared martini glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Mexiquita

1 part Tequila

1 part Melon Liqueur

1 splash Lime Juice

1 splash Soda Water

Mix all but Soda Water with ice in shaker. Serve in chilled martini glass. Top with soda water, garnish with lime wedge.


And not a martini but a shooter that messed us up in Mexico... It goes by many names but is all similar... Tequila Popper, Tequila Boom Boom, Tequilazo....

Here's how to make it and how to take it.

1 oz tequila

1 oz ginger ale or lemon-lime soda

I like to add a drop of colouring or flavouring for fun.

Follow these steps carefully.

1.Pour the ingredients into a shot glass.
2.Cover the glass with a napkin and your hand.
3.Slam the glass on the bar counter.
4.Drink while it's still fizzing.

Some fun alternatives we did in Mexico included:

Bartender would give us fizzing shot then shake our head side to side, round & round.

Bartenders would make us get on bar to drink then tip us upside down.

Bartenders would lift us up after shot and flip us over.

Mexican Martini is easy...

Guacamole

Those who know me know how much I love guacamole. I always crave it. I always order extra and I always add it to any food I can. This is the first, but certainly not the last time I will have something about Guacamole on this blog.... deal with it.



I love chunky guacamole, home-made with lot's of bits of tomato and extra lime and a bit of cilantro.

My first time in Mexico my husband and I were drunk off too much tequilla and wandered into a little beach front Taco Shop. We ordered some fajita's to share and I asked for Guacamole.

Turns out, Guacamole is an entire meal in itself.... they brought me out this massive plate of green gooeyness. It was awesome.

Chips and Tortilla Shells went flying as I gobbled up that green goodness.

I have dozens of recipies for guacamole but I am not picky, as long as it isn't that "gucacmole dip" they try to sell at the local supermarket, I am happy.

Frogstone Grill makes it right at your table and I literally go there JUST FOR THAT. They bring the avocado and salt and pepper and jalepeno's and lime and tomato and cilantro and mash it up to your tasting... freaking AWESOME!

Mmmm.. I even had guacamole with dinner tonight and just talking about it makes me want more.....

You've been warned!
