Papaya Chili Lime Margaritas
It's warming up around here and with the warmer weather comes the quintessential summer cocktail Margaritas! This recipe adds a twist with chili and papaya added to the mix.
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 ounces tequila
- 1/2 triple sec
- 1/2 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 ounce fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce papaya puree (strained of fibrous pieces)
- garnish: lime wedge, chili sugar/salt for the rim (recipe to follow)
Instructions:
Dip the rim of a DOF glass first in water and then in chili lime sugar/salt. Then, add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker full with ice. Shake until combined and cold and poor into a chilled DOF glass with crushed ice.
Chili Sugar/Salt: In a shallow dish combine 1 tsp course salt, 1 tsp granulated sugar, with a pinch of cayenne pepper and ancho chili powder. This recipe is enough to rim one glass but multiple to serve for a party ;)
Enjoy!

Since most of us will be spending Valentine’s Day at home, I thought some at home table side drama like a Baked Alaska with cotton candy flambé would be just the fun we need! This Baked Alaska is layered with raspberry sorbet, vanilla bean butter cake, vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries. It is all topped with toasted fluffy pink meringue and a raspberry cotton candy cloud. The whole thing is dosed is flaming rum for dramatic effect.
