intro


I dream up and experiment with cocktail recipes. Then I share my favorite every Monday. Give something a try if it sounds good to you. If you stick with me, every week will include a flavor adventure.

Sweet Suenos

Inspired by the traditional Dulce de Tequila, this sweet concoction takes it literally.

Ingredients:

Tequila Reposado
Hard candy (orange flavored)
Lemon extract
Lemon
Water

Add 1/4 cup water and 3 orange flavored hard candies (I used Lifesavers) to a small saucepan. On high heat with pan tipped to create a pool on one side, stir constantly until candies are melted occasionally taking away from flame to avoid burning.  Set aside to cool. Pour 3 tablespoons tequila and 1/8 teaspoon lemon extract into martini glass. Add 2 tablespoons of candy mixture and top with a thin half moon slice of lemon.
