How To Make a Tequila Pomegranate Spritzer

Tequila Pomegranate Spritzer - Chicano Eats
Jump to Recipe

Hola Hola!

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!

How To Make The Best Pistachio Horchata

Pistachio Horchata (Chicano Eats)

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.

Mango Coconut Lime Pudding

Hola Hola! Today we’re making a rich and creamy mango budino with hints of coconut and lime that we’re also topping with whipped cream and fresh lime zest! Growing up in Southern California meant that it was warm pretty much year-round, so mangos for me are always on the menu! Thanksgiving is coming up, and I have family members who aren’t into traditional Thanksgiving desserts, so I have to always have pie alternatives up my sleeve. This mango budino is it.
