Beer cocktails? Here’s a list from allaboutbeer.com.
They make a really interesting beer cocktail at De Cero on Randolph Street (just a few blocks from Harpo Studios) called a chelada. Camri and I had one a few months ago, and have experimented with the concept a few times when folks have come over.
It’s a base of lime juice, with mexican beer on ice (ice!) in a salt rimmed glass. The lime brightens it up while the ice keeps it cold and waters it down a teeny bit. Salt makes it salty. ha.
It tastes great, is pretty unique, and is easy to make at home. Go beer!
We were in Mexico last week, and had some really great breakfasts. I’m a bigger breakfast eater than Camri, but I’ve managed to convert her over the years. Breakfast is a pretty straighforward meal, with lots of little variations, which is what makes it easy for me to cook while still feeling like I can do things differently than other breakfast cooks out there.
I discovered a breakfast that I’d never had last week, called Machaca, mexican dried beef. It’s almost like beef jerky, but softened. The beef was mixed with eggs, onions and peppers. I’m not a big beef for breakfast fan, steak and eggs makes me nervous, but Machaca and eggs ends up being really tasty.
Here’s a few links I’ve found with recipes:
