I've decided to show off my cooking skills (or lack of it) by listing some of the recipes I make. You can find them on the net else where for most of them are not original. But you would miss the most important ingredient in most the recipes - a dollop of my creativity!
The first in the series is the Kiwi Margarita I made recently. I'd be lying if I say it showcases my cooking skill for technically there is no cooking involved in the recipe! But, but, ladies and gents, it does serve a greater purpose - that of waking up the sleeping bartender in me!
Again, I am not going to take credit for the recipe, not because I can't, but because if you don't like it I don't want you coming bawling to me. I tried this recipe, of course adding my own touch (I had to, what do you think!) . So here you go!
Questioning the basics of Kiwi Margaritas
What You Shouldn't have?
Allergy to any of the ingredients listed below
What You Should have?
Kiwi + margarita (duh!)
OK, seriously
- Kiwis (2-3 medium sized, peeled)
- 1/3rd cup Tequila Gold (I can make do with silver, bronze, copper etc., but its up2 u)
- 1/3rd Orange Liqueur
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Lemon Juice
- 2 cups Ice
- Salt
What You Can also have?
A basic (or severe) liking for any (or all) of the above except kiwis (who likes kiwis anyway?)
When can I make this?
Whenever you want! No really! But below are some of the circumstances you might want to try it
- When you have a theme party and no one knows what the theme is or no one understands why the other person is dressed up as they are and all you want to do it get drunk. Oh wait, plain tequila would do for such circumstances!
- When you are alone (Why not?)
- When you want a secret revealed (here's where you add more tequila than required, but beware, you don't want to add an amount that would kill them, not just yet! You still need the secret out, remember?)
- Or when you find yourself in the untowardly situation of being left with a lot of kiwis because you didn't eat them because you don't like them and no one who knows you would want to have anything to do with them (and you!)
Will this recipe work for everyone?
The only time the recipe won't work is when you or the person you are making it for doesn't like alcohol! You could test it though and tell me if it did (between you and me, there's someone I want drunk!)
How do I make this?
Simple, put all but one ingredient (salt, you dodo) in the blender and blend with it..errr,,blend it. I had to taste the tequila, orange liqueur before to check if they were OK, you shouldn't do it!
How do I serve this?
In a glass! And here's where you use the salt! Rub it on the rim of the glass (not on your partners wounds).
Can I substitute the glass for a coffee mug?
As far as you know that you are not having coffee, as far as your job doesn't depend on it and as far as you don't care, You Can!
What do I achieve by making and having a Kiwi Margarita?
There are various ways to answer this question. I'll try all of them.
- Nothing
- Everything in life doesn't have to be about achieving something
- What you may (mostly will, if you use my levels of tequila) achieve, which is not nothing, is a state of drunkenness and that state can lead you to write the above recipe! So there you go, having a kiwi margarita can make you a writer!
- But mainly, you can wake up to morning of not having to see the kiwi lying in your fruit bowl, and voila, you don't even remember consuming them!
Leaving Tip - No No, no one would leave you a tip for this, but I am going to leave you with a tip. Don't defrost your freezer 24 hrs before you decide to make the kiwi. You may not have any ice, you see!
