Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching and the temperature’s telling us that it’s time to strap on our sandals and dive into summer. Here at IZKALI, we firmly believe that the perfect summer consists of backyard get-togethers, juicy barbecue, and of course, cold drinks.
To help you get in the spirit of summer, we’ve put together some of our favorite warm-weather recipes for delicious eats and refreshing drinks.
First, no summer gathering or backyard bash is complete without some smooth drinks. Cool off with the fruity and thirst-quenching IZKALI Vampiro featuring our IZKALI Silver Tequila:
IZKALI Vampiro
2 parts IZKALI Silver Tequila
3 parts Sangrita (Viuda de Sánchez) – A mix of orange juice, tomato juice and spices.
3 parts grapefruit soda (Squirt)
Juice of ½ Lime
Pinch of Salt
Mix first three ingredients in a pitcher. Add to taste lime juice and salt. To spice up your Vampiro even more, add a dash of Picante sauce.
Pour into a tall glass with ice cubes that has been rimmed with salt.
Add a lemon wedge for garnish and ENJOY!
In addition to dazzling your guests with ice-cold cocktails, heat up their appetites when you fire up the grill for a Mexican-inspired meal. A great feature of IZKALI Tequila is that because it’s made from 100% blue agave plants, it’s perfect for adding an authentic Mexican flavor to your favorite recipes. We recommend this flavorful, yet simple to make tequila-lime chicken.
Finally, satisfy your summery sweet tooth with this tangy dessert: margarita cupcakes featuring IZKALI tequila-lime buttercream frosting. Drizzle an extra bit of IZKALI tequila on top to make these sweet treats the perfect ending to your festive fiesta.
This Memorial Day, let IZKALI help you celebrate with friends, family, and fun in the sun. Enjoy the long weekend!
