Hola! Today we’re making a spin on the Moscow Mule using mezcal!
If you’ve ever taken a cooking class with me chances are you’ve already made this! I originally developed this recipe for my first book, Chicano Eats, using tequila but I found that using Mezcal gave this cocktail a whole new life. The combination of pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, ginger beer and smokiness from the Mezcal make this cocktail taste just like tepache.
I hope you give this one a try, and if you do, don’t forget to tag me in your pictures! That’s all I have for you today, nos vemos pronto!
This week I celebrated my 32nd birthday with a nice steak, a slice of Ina Garten’s Coconut Cake and of course, a good cocktail. Today we’re making a tequila pomegranate spritzer.
Since I live in Central California, and good food is hard to come by, I’ve started using Goldbelly every now and then to have things like pizza from New York, noodle kits from Xi’an Famous Foods, and cake delivered. It can be expensive, but some things are totally worth it, especially if traveling isn’t an option. Ina’s coconut cake is by far the best thing I’ve ordered off Goldbelly. It is a small 6-inch white coconut layer cake with a cream cheese frosting coated in shredded coconut. Now, I’ve ordered cakes from other places like Milk bar, or cupcakes from Sprinkles before and I’ve always been disappointed. The cakes and cupcakes just don’t seem to do well during travel, and always arrive dry and crumbly. My husband and I have been having a slice of cake for the past 5 days, and Ina’s cake is still moist, and tastes just as fresh! This post isn’t sponsored by Goldbelly, but if you ever want to indulge in a good slice of cake, I seriously recommend you try Ina’s coconut cake!

.Hola, today I’m partnering with Sparkling Ice to share with you a recipe for a peach nectarine cazuelita made with Sparkling Ice Peach Nectarine! Sparkling Ice is a zero sugar sparkling water with real fruit flavor and packed with vitamins and antioxidants, and it comes in a variety of flavors with naturally sourced colors that everyone can enjoy! Today we’re working with nectarines and citrus, but if you like a good creamy cocktail, make sure to check out the cocolime creamsicle frozen margarita I made with Sparkling Ice Coconut Limeade a few years ago!
Hola! Happy Thursday! Today we’re making frozen Mango Margaritas with a chamoy swirl! I figured since the end of Summer is right around the corner, and I’m turning in the manuscript for my second book next week, this would be a great way to celebrate and hold onto what’s left of this warm weather!
This recipe was actually inspired by one of my favorite Tex-Mex restaurants, Chevy’s! It’s where my Husband and I had our first few dates, and where we would go for Happy Hour whenever I had a rough day at the office. It’s not the most authentic, but their frozen margaritas were always perfect, they were creamy, and not overly sweet. In my take on the frozen mango margarita (that I called La Mangoneada), I decided to ditch most of the ice and sub in frozen mango chunks, it packs the margarita with more mango flavor, but also adds that creaminess factor I love!
