Margaritas

Ingredients


Makes two drinks.

• 3 oz tequilla
• 2 oz citronage/triple sec
• juice of one lemon (2 tbsp)
  
• juice of one lime (2 tbsp)
• salt
  

Thoughts: Feel free to add other juices to this, as long as you keep the lime juice. The acidity needs to come from somewhere. We recently made grapefruit margaritas and originally left out all the lime juice, and we had to add some back in. So even grapefruits are not acid enough. Bear it in mind.

Grapefruit and Tangerine Ice Cream

ICE CREAM MACHINE.

Ingredients

• 1c heavy cream
  
• 1/2c half-and-half
  
• Juice of 3 tangerines
  
• Zest of 1 tangerine
  
• Zest and juice of 1/2 grapefruit
  
• 1c sugar
  

Prepare the ice cream maker so it's ready to go - you have to fridge ours for 15 hours. At some point during that time, juice and zest the fruits and put them in a container. Chill. When you're ready, pour the cream, half-and-half, and sugar into a bowl and whip together as best you can (I'm not sure you'll have much luck dissolving the sugar). Pour in the juice & zest and whip together a little more, then pour it into the ice cream maker. It took ours about 20 minutes to set up pretty well. We let it go for 30, then emptied it into another container and put it in the freezer to chill a little longer - 4-6 more hours.

Thoughts: Almost a little too sweet - maybe not citrus-y enough, but you have to try it once before you really get the hang of it, right? Next time I'd use maybe some lemon juice or just 100% grapefruit and about 1/2 the sugar. Otherwise, ICE CREAM. AWESOME. NEXT STOP DELICIOUSNESS.
