We're staying in Mexico all week long, it seems. Here in sunny Southern California the worst of cold weather has finished--and now it's time to prepare ourselves to loll in lounge chairs; reach for the sun block, and a great paper back.
When I visited Mexico City I found that women rarely drank. Is this sexism, or wisdom? I dunno. When I asked our server what las damas drank, I was offered a paloma, and that became my drink of choice.
You will need:
A tall glass that will hold lots of ice
Diet or full strength grapefruit soda
Lime
Tequila
Slice the lime in half, run the cut side along the rim of your tall glass. Swirl in a small plate of salt.
Squeeze the lime into the glass. Add a shot of tequila. Fill with ice cubes. Pour in your grapefruit soda, and stir gently once or twice to distribute the alcohol.
Sip.
Can you feel it? I can. I've just changed time zones, climates, and cultures.
Which drinks transport you?
