Cinco de Mayo Sudachi Margarita is a refreshing, mouth-puckering, peppery take on a festive fave.
Hello, hello! It's been a while, so I thought I'd ease back into things with a refreshing Cinco de Mayo Sudachi Margarita! It's my take on a fave drink associated with what we North Americans/Canadians celebrate as Cinco de Mayo.
So, about my absence... my last post was this beauty back in March. Then I woke up and we were already four days into May! WHAAAAT?
My absence here in no way translated to an absence in my kitchen - I've been busy baking, cooking, colouring, tempering, casting and loving every moment. I just did not have the desire, and often, the time to sit and craft a post, write up recipes, edit photos and all the other tasks involved in sharing on here.
I am also quite fed up with companies and people who think that it's fine to take others' hard work and put their name on it, while profiting from it without regard for its creator. Works of art are displayed in public places around across our country, people park their vehicles in public, for most that is not an invitation to take it and call it their own.
That's what is commonly known as theft in society. Correct?
So why do some people, including companies big and small, think this is the wild wild west?
Because content is posted publicly on the internet does not give others the right to take it, call it their own and profit from it. There's a little something called copyright law. For those of you guilty of the above, have a read. Knowledge is power - the kind that may save you money and face and me, time.
For the majority of you who respect, share and credit responsibly the hard work of bloggers (and artists), I raise two extra large glasses of Cinco de Mayo Sudachi Margarita to you!
As indicated in the title, I used Sudachi, a Japanese citrus fruit, instead of regular limes. Think of it as Yuzu's peppery, tangy cousin. It lends an unforgettably distinct flavour to this traditional, festive cocktail.
Of course, if it isn't readily available any other citrus will do the trick!
Ingredients
- 1 lime wedge optional
- kosher salt flakes optional
- 120 millilitres tequila
- 120 millilitres sudachi juice fresh or bottled
- 1-2 dashes orange bitters
- lime slices to garnish
- ice for glasses and shaker
Instructions
- Refrigerate or freeze glasses to chill for a few minutes. Rub the rims of the glasses with lime wedge. Salt rims by adding a thin layer of salt flakes to a flat saucer, invert glass onto plate and swirl to cover.
- Add ice to glasses and a couple dashes of bitters. Add tequila, juice and ice to a cocktail shaker, shake and strain to glasses. Garnish with lime slices.
