Blackberry Margaritas + Blackberry Simple Syrup Recipes

We’re making a blackberry simple syrup and blackberry margaritas today!

Temperatures are reaching over 110° this week here in Fresno, which means these blackberry margaritas are going to be a delicious way to keep cool. For the past couple of weeks, my backyard has been bursting with boysenberries and blackberries, and consequently, I’ve been using them for aguas frescas, paletas, and the margaritas we’re making today. Additionally, I’ve got passion fruit on the vines that are in the process of ripening. If you have any suggestions for recipes you’d like to see them in, let me know below!

How to Make a Refreshing Pineapple Mango Agua Fresca

Pineapple Mango Agua Fresca - Chicano Eats

Today we’re making a refreshing pineapple mango agua fresca!

Last week I dusted off the grill for some carne asada and made this agua fresca to go along with our tacos, and didn’t realize I hadn’t shared the recipe yet. So, I’m sharing it with you today! It’s light, it’s refreshing, and perfect for the hot weather we have coming up. Although we’re making an agua fresca today, this recipe would also work great for paletas. Simply omit 1 1/2 cups of water, add extra sugar, and pour into your favorite paleta molds.

Atole de Calabaza (Creamy Mexican Pumpkin Atole)

How to Make a Creamy Atole de Calabaza (Pumpkin Atole)- Chicano Eats

Hola! Today I’m keeping it pretty quick and simple, we’re making atole de calabaza (Mexican Pumpkin Atole)!

We’ve finally started feeling the cold temperatures here in the Central Valley, so it only feels appropriate to start sharing hot drink recipes. If you’ve never had atole before, it’s a traditional hot corn based beverage with pre-Columbian roots, and it comes in all sorts of flavors. Today, it typically consists of milk, sweetener, spices, and masa harina to thicken it.

How to Craft a Refreshing Lychee Hibiscus Agua Fresca

Make the most refreshing Lychee Hibiscus Agua Fresca- Chicano Eats

Hola! Today we’re making a refreshing lychee hibiscus agua fresca!

This delightful beverage combines two of my favorite ingredients; the delicate sweetness of lychee with the vibrant floral and slightly tart notes of hibiscus, making it the perfect companion for sunny days. The idea for this recipe came from a recent trip to visit my parents. I was in Southern California visiting my family and stopped at 85 Degrees for pastries and boba, but was in the mood for something a little less milky, so I got their hibiscus lemonade and asked for lychee jelly.
