Something different than tequilla plus mixer for Cinco de Mayo

May 5, 2009   1 Comment  

Well Happy Cinco de Mayo everybody!

Instead of turning you all loose on lime-in-the-beer and quickie margaritas, we went to Mixologist Victoria D’Amato Moran for something just a bit different.

How do coconut and lime or jalapeno and cucumber sound?

Served on the rocks or frozen, the recipes below share the flavor of Yubari, a rare and expensive melon used to make Midori, the Melon flavored Liqueur.
