Top 5 Cocktails for your extra tequila

Top 5 Cocktails

for your extra tequila

We had another crazy busy weekend.  

Our oldest had a soccer tournament which ended up being three games, one of which we had to miss so that he could play in his baseball game on Saturday night.  

I tell you with all of these busy weeks and weekends, this year is flying by already.  

Now that Cinco De Mayo is over (another example that the year is flying by), what are you going to do with the extra tequila you were not able to use yesterday?

I will tell you what you can do with the extra tequila!  

I have put together five tequila cocktails for you to choose from and make.  

One of these cocktails was on my list of margaritas that I had linked to in my Classic Margarita post and the other four are non-margarita cocktails.

1. Chavela is a great beer & tequila cocktail that is sure to please.

2. Moon-a-rita......yum, just thinking about it makes me want to pull out my blender and mix up a mango margarita and stick a beer in it!

3. Grapefruit Margarita is a nice change from your Classic Margarita and the other common flavors you find in restaurants.

4. Tequila Sunrise is a refreshingly enjoyable cocktail that is made with tequila, orange juice and a bit of grenadine for that awesome effect.

5. Long Island Iced Tea is a surprisingly delicious cocktail.  It's mixed with just about every main alcohol in your bar so be careful and enjoy.

There you have it!  5 delicious cocktails that you can make with the extra tequila you have left over from Cinco De Mayo!

Cheers!!

Chavela

Day 258

Chavela

5 shots out of 5

Yes, I am still on a high from the World Series!  

I remember when we won the World Series in 2010 I was pregnant with our fourth and my mom had told me that I was not allowed to go into labor until after the World Series was over.  

My folks are the ones who watch our kids when we go to the hospital to have more kids (lol, that just sounded funny).  

Luckily I didn't have her until Nov. 14th, so all was good.

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  

A friend of mine, Kinsie, told me about this amazingly good cocktail that they order and love at a restaurant south of us.  

It sounded pretty darn good to me, so I thought I'd give it a try.  

Winner!!  

Another cocktail that includes beer, like my Moon-a-rita.  

This is a quick and simple cocktail to make.  

Make sure you have your cocktail glass chilled ahead though, otherwise the beer won't taste too refreshing after a while.......unless you're planning on drinking it quickly, then you'll have no worries!  

Yes, I did go "a little" over board on the salting of the rim on this glass....oh well.  

It's very wipe-off-able.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is the recipe for a Chavela:

• 1 Negra Modelo beer
• 1 oz silver tequila
• 1 lime wedge

In a big goblet sized glass wet the rim with your lime wedge and salt it.  Tilting your glass sideways pour in your beer, sqeeze all of the lime juice you can get out of the lime wedge (you can add more if you like more) and pour in your shot of tequila.  Give it a quick stir and enjoy!!

Here's to local cocktail that include beer!
