"Salud!" is this week's theme over at I Heart Cooking Clubs (IHCC), where we are cooking from Rick Bayless's recipes. I missed last week's Potluck Theme! This week is all about beverage, alcohol is optional. We are asked to "Fill your glass with a tasty beverage and raise a toast!". So I'm raising a toast with one of Rick Bayless's drinks, Amber Ginger! The name has a nice sound to it, I like the name "Amber Ginger"!
Went out to get one small bottle of beer, I made this only for myself (hehe! shhhh... don't let hubby know!!). I made this while he is at work. I'll surprise him one of these days!
When the foam is clearing up, you can see bits of the grated ginger.
Would I make this again?
Let's just say that I'm already thinking of getting a couple bottles of beer on my next grocery shopping, hey, I wanted to surprise my hubby, remember? This is so refreshing, love it! I love the flavours of the sweet honey and the lime juice. The rum gives a wonderful fragrance and the ginger, the umph!!! Love it! Not bad, huh, for someone who do not really drink anything with alcohol! :)
Now I can't wait to see what the others at IHCC will raise in their toast! Let's visit them to find out!
I'm sharing this with :

Amber Ginger
(source from : Frontera Fiesta, Rick Bayless)
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons light rum
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 bottle (12 oz) Dos Equis Amber Beer
- Mix lime juice, honey and rum in the bottom of a glass.
- Add fresh ginger and stir.
- Pour beer in glass and serve.
I like the idea of this. I would not have thought of honey, ginger, lime and beer together but it sounds really good and so refreshing. ;-)
