Mango Margarita and Extended Deadline for MBP

[ 26 ] March 23, 2008 | Cocktails | Mango |

The Giveway

Have you entered your name for the $100 gift certificate and the cookbook giveaway? If not, what are you waiting for? Check this post out to see how to enter.

I am going to be on a break from tomorrow, will be back online end of this week. Since I won’t be able to do the round-up till then, the deadline for Monthly Blog Patrol – Mixed Drinks is extended to March 28th midnight PST. Please e-mail the entries according to the guidelines, I will respond by this weekend.

Before I leave, here is my own entry for MBP. MBP is about trying a posted recipe from a fellow blogger, and I got my inspiration from a recently discovered blog by the charming White on Rice Couple. I became a fan at the first glimpse of their amazing photographs and versatile recipes. This simple and delicious cocktail was the perfect antidote to the packing fatigue on Saturday night.

Refer to the original recipe here: Mango Margarita

Only change I made was to use canned mango nectar instead of the fresh mango puree they used. But even with it, the drink turned out perfect! Thank you White on Rice Couple!

Keep those MBP entries coming!

Homemade salsa has a recurring role in all my dinner party productions. It is easy to make, looks pretty and goes well with a variety of dishes from chips to lamb chops to grilled fish.  I keep experimenting with ingredients, and since I was running out of ideas for the event A Fruit A Month, I [...]

I am supposed to be on vacation this week. For the first time in my life I am taking a week off to stay home and relax. Usually time off from work is for travel, but once we get back from a trip, I feel so drained that I don’t feel rejuvenated like I am supposed [...]

    This looks so tempting… will rush to see the original recipe… I tend to get off alcohol through the summer as my body can’t take it in temperatures raging 50 C :-) an occasional beer is OK… but this is so tempting.
