It's Thursday Slow Roasters, you know what that means??? LADIES NIGHT!!! Tonight we are serving up the Tequila Sunrise (the original recipe was even created at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel right here in Phoenix) made perfect with just a splash of grenadine so you get the bright combination of fresh orange juice and tequila. You don't even have to be Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell or Michelle Pfeiffer to enjoy a Tequila Sunrise.
We are gearing up for our Cinco de Mayo party here. We love the flavors of Mexico, food, cocktails and all. I am sure a lot of that love developed from living in Arizona (which borders Mexico). The state is very influenced by Mexican cuisine. I have grown to love jalapeños, most spicy foods and I am even growing habaneros in my garden. I know my Italian family is gasping. I am stuck on the 7 Layer Mexican Bean Dip that is packed with the flavors of Mexico and now I have developed a love for tequila. Not on its own, I am not THAT brave (remember 1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila FLOOR!). But, I am enjoying The Classic Margarita and this delicious Tequila Sunrise. I know you will too! Get your food ready for our Cinco de Mayo party. I am sure you will see an invitation on our Facebook. If you haven't LIKED us yet, now is the time. We are getting close to 1,000 fans and are planning a giveaway. You won't want to miss that!
