Cinco de Mayo isn't really a great day for eating paleo. Probably a better day for cheating. To me, cheating isn't really a big issue in paleo since I've lost my taste for many sugared things, grainy things, starchy things, etc. However, I do love Mexican food. It's the only time I have any interest in corn products, for example. Corn tortilla chips with salsa are outstanding. And margaritas are one of the best drinks ever. But it's always instructive to re-visit the NorCal Margarita, which I think is a great hack.
Here's the recipe:
- 2–3 shots of 100% agave tequila.
- Juice and pulp from one lime.
- Shake it all up with some ice.
- Add soda water to taste.
I personally will be having a traditional margarita with freezer-cooled 1800 Reposado and Cointreau, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and no salt or ice. Delicious. Feliz Cinco de Mayo.
