Orange Adobo (Chipotle) Margarita
Sharing with you a refreshing orange, agave and tequila Margarita subtle spiced with chipotle adobo sauce.
This drink is here for my love of Chipotles in Adobo! I love Mexican spices and chiles and Adobo is one of my dearest. Whenever I want to add some flavor to my Mexican dishes, I always reach for few chipotle chilies or a can of Chipotle en adobo! I'm always looking for inspiration to cook with it! Once such inspiration, I found in California Pizza Kitchen, when I saw Citrus Adobo Margarita on their drink menu. I simply loved the idea of a spiced drink and since then, whenever I open a can of chipotle in adobo, I look forward to serving some Margaritas with it.
Today's Orange Adobo Margarita is no really a copycat of Citrus Adobo Margarita but is certainly inspired from it.
I'm sure you are not surprised with use of chiles in drink. We all love, our very own, Bloody Mary! Don't we?
The taste of adobo in this margarita is very subtle. You will only taste a hint of heat at the end of each sip. Almost like a subtle nudge to awaken senses...... like a mild Bloody Mary!
Sounds mouthwatering and refreshing, isn't?
Pin it today to surprise your guest this Cinco De Mayo or make a big batch for your next Tex-Mex Party!
Friends, my Monday schedule is always very busy and today is no different. I just managed to find sometime to share this recipe with you. Keeping today's past simple and refreshing just like this Orange Adobo Drink!
Have a great day and enjoy it responsibly!
Cheers!

Refreshing Margarita calls for some Chips and Salsa :)
