How to make my favorite summer cocktail: La Cuba

La Cuba from Chicano Eats Recipes from my Mexican-American Kitchen

I am so excited to share with you that I am finally creating content for YouTube, and my first video went live today! Watch today’s recipe below.

To celebrate we’re making a recipe from my first cookbook, Chicano Eats: Recipes from my Mexican American Kitchen, for a cocktail that I like to call La Cuba. Quite a few recipes in the book are inspired by different family members, and la Cuba is essentially my dad’s take on the traditional Mexican Paloma.

Did you know that the Paloma is Mexico’s national cocktail, and not the margarita?

Hola Hola Hola!

Today we’re making salmon sliders! Sliders are one of my favorite things to make in the Summer, and here in Fresno, we’re already experiencing 90 degree heat. Which means Summer has officially arrived.

How To Make The Best Pistachio Horchata

Hola Hola! Feliz Año Nuevo! Today I’m sharing with you a recipe for a refreshing pistachio Horchata!

Before I do, I just wanted to give you an update on what’s goin on with Chicano Bakes! I turned in my manuscript in September, and photos in October, and I’m starting to work on the layout and graphics portion with my publisher.

The book is going to be the same length as my first (Chicano Eats), will be divided into 6 chapters (Basics, Pan Dulce Mexicano, Cakes, Desserts, Tamales & Antojitos, and Drinks) and will be featuring at least 75 recipes! I ended up developing around 85 recipes but things always change depending on how many are able to fit once layout and page count comes into play.

Cucumber Spritzers with A Chamoy RIm

This post is sponsored by Sun-Maid, thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hola!

I am so excited to share two different recipes with you today! We’ll be making a chamoy rim sauce made with Sun-Maid’s new Chili Spiced Golden Raisins, and a bubbly cucumber lime spritzer (don’t worry, you can always add a shot or two of your favorite spirit if you’d like!). Sun-Maid has created a whole world of possibilities for raisins, re-imagining classic golden raisins with a spicy flare and haves debuted Chili Spiced Golden Raisins for the first time – available for a limited time at Costco in Los Angeles, Central California and SF area.
