Gastronomista, Plated & Served

17 May

The best part of a Greyhound cocktail is the fresh squeezed grapefruit juice - giving it a refreshing zip that acts as a perfect vessel to deliver vodka to one’s body. The Greyhound is a classic cocktail, one that never fails.

Today, we’re bringing you a variation on the Greyhound - The Bad Dog Greyhound. A perfect cocktail for the bad, the fiery, the untamed.

We used Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka made in Austin Texas, Fresh Grapefruit Juice, and Bad Dog Fire and Damnation bitters to give it some serious kick. We rimmed the glass in salt and Rio Grande Chile Blend, and garnish with a whole Habanero Pepper - for the baddest dogs out there.

Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite holidays of the year—mostly because there are margaritas involved. I love margs for any occasion, but they taste extra delicious when you know that summer’s quickly approaching after a long, cold spring.

Today we’ve got four, yes four, recipes for Margaritas that will satisfy even the pickiest palates: The Mercadito with Jalapenos and Cilantro, A Smoky Ginger Mezcal Margarita, a Habanero Grapefruit Marg, and a recipe for A Perfect Margarita—none of which are dispensed from an icee machine. Cheers!

So, we hear you like nachos. As it turns out, so do we. We love nachos.

Clearly, if you like nachos, this is the only book you need in life.

And need it, we do.

Who knew there were so many variations? (Lee and Rachel, duh).

mmm Nachos…

Nachos with Lamb and Black Bean Chili

But there’s more! Salsas! Toppings! Guacamole! Horchata! Avocado Ice cream! Nachos Panna Cotta with Jalapeno Jelly! Pico de Gallo! Candied Jalapenos! Peach-Habanero Margaritas! Ultimate Nachos is a treasure trove of creative nachos and some really great applications of south western flavors and the tortilla chip.
