Happy Thirsty Thursday!! On this dreary mid-January morning, how would you like to fly away to a tropical destination and lounge on the beach drinking umbrella drinks? Count me in!!
Here is your menu:
This is a photo taken from the wooden menu at The Ritz Carlton Cancun’s Beach Bar which we “borrowed” on a trip a few years ago!!! If you are wondering about the prices, they are in Mexican Pesos. |
What’s your pleasure?

There is nothing like a good Margarita while sitting on the beach in Mexico (or anywhere for that matter!). Here is the recipe for the classic Ritz Carlton Margarita:
1 3/4 cups Tequila Reposado
1/4-cup orange liqueur
3/4-cup water
3/4-cup Fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon lime zest, finely grated
2/3-cup sugar
For Rim of Glass
1/4-cup course sea salt
1 lime wedges per glass
Mix all ingredients in a blender with ice, except limes and salt. Spread the salt on a shallow dish, rub the rims of four margarita glasses with the cut side of a lime wedge, then dip each glass rim into the salt. Shake off the excess. Add margarita mixture to glass, garnish with a lime wedge and serve. Serves four.

Similar to the “CBG” on the above menu, this is called a “Miami Vice” – basically half Pina Colada and half Strawberry Daquiri.

This is similar to the “Mayan Wave” on the menu above – a personal favorite of mine. A similar drink is called the “Bahama Mama” and the recipe can be found here.

The “Blue Lagoon” is made with blue curacao to give it what I call “the windex look”. A recipe can be found here.

Anyone else ready to hop on the next flight south??

You are reading my mind. Does it get any grayer outside than this? Don't answer that, I know it could be worse. Are we half way to spring? I guess a tropical drink is the next best thing to being there.
