Mixologist Molly: The Hand Shaken Margie
First things first. I LOVE a good party…hence, the party margarita. I also have a crazy obsession for cake plates, stands and vintage platters…but I’ll save that story for another day. Often times it’s just me and the hubby-to-be and a HUGE batch of the Moorpark Maier Margarita is a little much. Well, not always. but if we are being responsible adults, I will make a batch of Fresh Hand Shaken Margaritas. These are TASTY!!! You can change them to suit your need for lime or tequila…I usually start out with more lime and less tequila, then more tequila and a ‘splash’ of lime (you know how that goes).
The Moorpark Maier Margarita
You ask, and you shall receive my fellow foodie and cocktail loving friends!!
I introduce to you, my sweet, amazing ex-roomie and best friend, Molly, and her fabulous cocktail making capabilities. This margarita is standard at the Kern River as our “river juice”. It’s perfect at the Waters Reservoir for some boating, cornhole and water play. And in the summer it is perfect on a random Tuesday when it’s hot and I’ve got the white trash water park set-up and kiddos are playing.
Pollo Borracho…. Spaghetti
I have no idea how I came up with this recipe. All I know is that some kind of chicken pasta with tequila and peppers sounded REALLY good one day. Though now that I think about it, is there any kind of alcohol that chicken does not taste good with? I think not. And as I was cooking it, I added a bit of this here and a bit more tequila there. Borracho means “drunk” in spanish. And I like to get this chicken good and borracho. I am really not pleased with the picture I took cause the chicken looks funky in it? But I assure you, the drunk ass chicken pasta is downright delicious.
Hubby’s Note: Tequila? Check. Meat? Check. Carbs? Check. Tequila in a glass over rocks for Daddy? Check. All systems are go.
