How long has it been since you ate a truly healthy meal? Although you might feel like you are a pretty healthy eater, it can surprise some people how many things they consume that aren't really that great for them. I began focusing more and more on choosing healthier food a few months back, and it was interesting to me to see how much better I felt simply by watching my intake. I wanted to start a great little blog all about being healthy and cooking in a way that lowers total calorie consumption, so I made this website. Check it out to improve your day!
Many Mexican restaurants offer a rich menu of appetizers, entrees, and drinks available at a bar separate from the main seating area. If you and your party do not want to have a full lunch or dinner, you can still enjoy your time with each other by sitting at the bar with a variety of lighter choices available to you. The possible combinations of appetizers and drinks will be bountiful.
Margaritas and Appetizer Combinations
You can never go wrong with ordering a margarita at a Mexican restaurant. They are fruity, tangy, sweet, salty, and even spicy. The notes of tequila accompanied by the sweetness of agave syrup, and the tartness of citrus bring you along into a delightful trip of flavors. There are so many different versions of margaritas. Each of them present unique flavors to hit every taste bud in your mouth. If you are bold in your choices, you can go for a jalapeno margarita. Some Mexican restaurants make versions with jalapeno and ginger for an extra kick of hotness. More common choices include spicy margaritas with grapefruit, orange, or lime. If you are having a special date, you can even order a champagne margarita.
Just like the choices for margaritas are many at a Mexican restaurant, so are the choices of appetizers that you can pair with them. If you are feeling adventurous and would like to taste more than one type of margarita, you can order a combo platter of appetizers with quesadillas, jalapeno poppers, and taquitos.
Tequila Mule and Appetizer Combinations
If you enjoy Moscow mules, you can order a tequila mule at a Mexican restaurant. You will find it just as delightful as a Moscow mule. Lime is a staple condiment in Mexican cuisine. Moscow mules use lime juice in the recipe. Hence, by substituting vodka for tequila, you will still enjoy the flavors of a Moscow mule, but with a delightful twist.
You can combine a tequila mule with guacamole dip and corn chips. The fresh guacamole with the starchiness of the corn chips will go well with a tequila mule. If you would like more than one type of dip for your corn chips, you can choose chili dip, salsa verde, or Mexican salsa. Your tequila mule and corn chips will have great company in the many types of dip you can choose from at most Mexican restaurants.
Paloma and Appetizer Combinations
Paloma is a cocktail that uses tequila with a combination of lime and grapefruit juice. It is a very popular Mexican drink. You can taste the tartness of the citrus, with a bit of bitterness from the grapefruit, and the sweetness of the citrus juice and added sweeteners. It is refreshing, and an excellent choice for different appetizers on a warm summer afternoon.
You can combine Paloma cocktails with fajitas, or with nachos. You can choose to select tostaditas with shrimp, steak, chicken, or even ceviche.
