Aaaaahhhhh!
With summer coming, it's time to start concocting those warm-weather tropi-cocktails! The Cabo Sunset is a wonderful new margarita invented by me and bartender Dana Perry at ChiliHead BBQ. Dana really did the work -- I just came up with the name. It was inspired by my recent trip to Los Cabos -- truly one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Here's the recipe:
2oz shot of your favorite reposado tequila*. Cabo Wabo? Why not?
1oz Margaritaville Tropical Tangerine Tequila
or
1oz Cuervo Oranjo Licor de Tequila
1/2oz Cointreau
1oz orange juice
2oz sour mix
Shake well with ice
Strain/pour in to glass over ice
Add some grenadine by pouring it down the side of the glass to create the sunset effect.
Garnish with a marachino cherry and dribble a little of the marachino syrup in to the cocktail.
* I use Tenampa Azul, Milagro, or Corralejo
