Last Summer we had a crazy long heatwave.ย Crazy for the PNW (where temps rarely rise above 75) and looooooong because it lasted, now don’t laugh here, about a week.ย And, YES, that IS long for us PNWesterners.
I was catching up on some emails, and this recipe from Bon Appetit caught my attention.ย It was a drink I’d never heard of before.ย I had all the ingredients on hand and whipped up a batch.ย And OMG…..it was AMAZING!ย Not only did it completely cool me down, but, it was fabulously tasty.ย Equal parts sour and salty with the barest hint of sweet.
It’s a recipe you can EASILY adjust depending on your tastes.ย Add more, or less salt.ย More, or less, sweetener….you get the idea.
And a big bonus — you can leave this as a mocktail OR whip up a batch for your next warm weather party.ย Have tequila, vodka and gin on standby for people to add if they want.
