Ancho y Tamarindo
Updated December 15, 2024
Goodbye winter, it’s been real. I hate to say you didn’t try, but those two days of rain a couple weeks ago really didn’t fool anyone. Maybe next year you can go easy on all the polar vortexes (vortices?) back east, and show us a little California love. In the meantime, I suppose I’ll keep mixing up cool, refreshing drinks. Sound good? Good. That being said, while the Ancho Reyes was fun to sip on its own, I knew it would shine in a cocktail. I kept it chill and made a simple highball. The Ancho Reyes and the Jarritos are both sweet, but are balanced by the heat of the ancho and the pop of fresh lime. And just like a California winter, these will disappear quickly. Almost as if they never existed . . .
