Cara Cara Orange Mezcal Sour

Cara Cara Orange Mezcal SourI’m 27 today!

I’m a year older, and to be honest,  all I want for my Birthday is to finally be able to buy my 2 buck chuck at Trader Joe’s without the cashier making a joke about how I look 16.

It happens too often.

We’re heading to Mexico Thursday morning and wish I could teleport there rn because my body is ready to inhale all the food! I’m seriously considering  only packing running shorts so I can indulge comfortably!

It’s just a short trip but enough para recargar las pilas!

We’re going to hang out with family, do some shopping, and hopefully trek up El Volcán de Colima, Colima’s last active Volcano.
Cara Cara Orange Mezcal Sour

I got my hands on these beautiful Cara Cara Oranges (cross between Washington and Bahia Navel) which are known for their pink orange flesh and I’m so glad I found them–I cannot get over how gorgeous the inside is!

If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you know I love me a tart cocktail, so it’s only appropriate that I have one for my Birthday.

As my mom would say, obviooó osea hellow.

It’s a twist on the South American classic, the Pisco Sour. It’s a little smokey and a little tart, and really easy to make. I also feel like this drink also makes for a good party trick because the foam will make you look fancy af.

Here’s to being blessed with another year, good eats, and the good fight!

Nos vemos en 2 semanas. Y como siempre, stay chingonx!Cara Cara Orange Mezcal Sour

    I am like you in that I love a tart sour, the more tart the sour the better within reason of course. Your drink sounded wonderful but I didn’t have any mescal or Cara Cara oranges so I made a few substitutions and made it my own. Here in New Orleans the first of this year’s satsuma crop was in the grocery store yesterday so I used some fresh satsuma juice in place of the orange juice and I used vodka in place of the mezcal but talk about refreshing, tart and just sweet enough satsuma sour was born. I am not sure what makes it a sour or if it is even still considered a sour but it was sooo good whatever you want to call it. I will definitely be making this again!! I forgot to take a picture of it before I drank it but I can tell you it looked almost identical to yours. Thanks for posting your recipes. The Chicano eats.com is my new favorite blog and I have made your dulce De leche chocoflan cake which my family loves it.
