After telling new acquaintances I was from Redondo Beach, the inevitable question was “why are you here?” I would answer that I had been brainwashed as a kid and that generally sufficed. My family lived in Southern California when I went off to study at The Ohio State University. In an effort to bring back some great recipes that they may have missed, I will dedicate Sundays to re-posting a favorite that is at least two years old. Thank you! As always, all opinions are my own.Pineapple Margarita….- Originally posted May 12, 2012Īs The Rantings of an Amateur Chef has been going since February of 2012, there are quite a few readers that have joined along the way.

Truvia Natural Sweetener is a sweetener that is commonly used in low carb recipes and is safe for diabetic use, it contains only three ingredients: erythritol, stevia leaf extract and natural flavors.Īt the recommendation of my personal trainer and to lower the number of carb calories I imbibe, I use non-GMO Truvía ® Baking Blend instead of granulated sugar to make the Serrano simple syrup. *Truvia Baking Blend allows you to maintain the sugar-like taste and texture in your favorite recipes with 75% fewer calories from sugar. *I used Camarena tequila Reposado tequila for a richer tasting tequila flavor.

The Mango Pineapple Margarita I chose to riff on for Cinco de Mayo is included under Tiki Bar Classics, one of the first chapters in Beach Cocktails. The book has several informative sections to assist you with the basics like Bar Tools and Glassware and the Art of the Garnish. So fyi, Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday that celebrates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). In California and other Southwestern states, Cinco de Mayo is widely celebrated, but if you live in an area where there isn’t a large Mexican population, you may not be familiar with this day to party. With Cinco de Mayo (Friday, May 5th) happening the same week as the release of Beach Cocktails, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to share a tequila based cocktail to commemorate both occasions. The drinks are approachable, meaning no obscure ingredients are required and guaranteed to make you relax and say “ahh” after just one sip. Plus, the final chapter serves up recipes for favorite bar snacks, like mango-lime salsa, ceviche verde, glazed honey garlic chicken wings and more. Flipping through the book, you’ll learn the origin stories and key ingredients of these famous libations and other interesting anecdotes as well as the 411 on stocking your bar with proper spirits, mixers, tools,and glassware.
