Summary

One sip of a margarita always leaves you licking your lips for mas -- mucho mas. And with Viva Margarita there's plenty more where that came from! W. Park Kerr from The EI Paso Chile Company is back with more than 60 tequila-kissed recipes celebrating everyone's favorite cocktail. Purists will love the classic flavors of the Ultimate Margarita made with silver tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice, while those with a more adventurous spirit can experience the exciting Tex-Mex Martini, a concoction that tickles the nose with a hint of cilantro. Limoncello liqueur packs a piquant punch to the refined Limonada Blanca. And if you want to kick up your heels in true south-of-the-border style, try the Congarita, a margarita blended with fresh pineapple and creme de banane. Tasty recipes for salsas and dips are the perfect accompaniment to these sundrenched drinks, and for those with a sweet tooth, a slice of the sublime Miracle Margarita Flan Cake is just the ticket. From colorful sno-cones and tequila gelatin shots to fruity infusions and crowd-pleasing party punches, Viva Margarita will jump-start any fiesta. Book jacket.
