I’ll NYC Ya

That’s right guys: it’s time for my semi-annual pilgrimage to the Big Apple, home to all manners of exciting and delicious foodstuffs that I promise to report on when I return. With any luck, I’ll have discovered a new cheese or two, eaten a vegetable I’d never heard of and even quaffed a trendy cocktail. Oh, and of course I’ll make time for some Indian food lit by twinkly lights.

I’ll be back with a new post on July 12th. Until then, I leave you to drown your sorrows over Fresh Parm’s temporary hiatus in my favorite margarita recipe. Enjoy!

Frozen Fruit Margaritas
Makes 2 drinks, serves 1

3 oz. tequila
3 oz. fresh lime juice
1 tsp. superfine granulated sugar
2 oz. Triple Sec
10 ice cubes made from fruit puree (try watermelon, mango, or strawberry)
coarse salt

In a blender, blend the first five ingredients for 30 seconds, or until there are no more large chunks of ice. Rub the rim of a margarita glass with a cut lime and dip it into the salt. Pour the drink into the glass and down immediately.
