Vampiro Recipes

Steps:

• Rub the rim of serving glasses with lime juice and dip them in sea salt.
• Combine all ingredients in a pitcher. Pour into glasses filled with ice and garnish with cucumber spears and lime.

Steps:

• For the syrup: Put the sugar, water, hibiscus flowers, and ginger in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and set aside to steep for 30 minutes. Strain and refrigerate until chilled.
• To make the cocktail: Combine the tequila, 2 cups of the hibiscus syrup, lime juice, and orange liqueur in a large pitcher. (The vampiro can be made up to this point a day ahead and refrigerated.)
• To serve, fill a cocktail shaker half way with ice, add the some of the vampiro and shake until chilled. Strain and serve straight-up in a cocktail glass garnished with lime slices. Alternatively, serve over ice in a rocks glass.

Steps:

• Combine steak and all marinade ingredients in a large plastic storage bag or bowl. Toss to coat. Marinade at least 1 hour or up to 24.
• Remove meat from marinade, discard.
• Heat a grill, grill pan or large saute pan to high heat. Cook to desired doneness. Allow the meat to rest at least 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
• To prepare the sauce, combine mayo, chipotles, lime juice and salt. Stir to combine.
• Heat a saute pan to medium heat.
• Place one corn tortilla in the pan, sprinkle about ¼ cup (25 G) cheddar cheese on top. Cover with a second corn tortilla. Cook just until the cheese is melted, flipping once. The tortillas should be soft and pliable, not crispy.
• To assemble the tacos, top the corn tortillas with a spoonful of guacamole.
• Add few slices of steak, then top with pico de gallo, cotija cheese and some of the sauce. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Chill a small wine glass or coupette glass, then brush a little water on the rim and dip into some fine smoked salt.
• Put all the cocktail ingredients in the base of a cocktail shaker or a glass full of ice. Stir until the outside of the container feels cold, then strain into the prepared glass.
