Beautiful weather, great food, and good some elements for a good weekend brunch. Luckily I live in a city where brunch locations are plentiful with many options. My friends and I often search for the best brunch spots New York City has to offer. This includes a great location, preferably on a low traffic street, and great deals, like bottomless drinks.
Brunch is time for us to catch up and discuss a long work week, exchange advice, and to overall, enjoy each other’s company. The only bothersome thing about brunch cocktails is the options. Brunch cocktails should not only be limited to mimosas, bloody Mary’s, and bellinis. I wanted to change it up a little bit and add tequila to the mix. Tequila has many great benefits and not to mention it’s delicious. By combining Hornitos® Tequila Plata with some of my favorite ingredients, I was hoping to take the traditional brunch cocktail to the next level. Hornitos® Tequila Plata is the purest expression of 100% agave flavor. I figured by combining tequila with my love for juicing, would make the ultimate boozy concoction. Since brunch is normally consumed in the daytime, you don’t want anything too overbearing. Brunch cocktails should be light and sweet to taste.
To get things started, blend a few chunks of pineapples with apple slices, and carrots. The juice itself is good; just imagine adding Hornitos® Tequila Plata to spice it up a little.
Check out the full recipe for the “Broadway Smash” (Named after the street I live on):
2 parts Hornitos® Tequila Plata
1 part pineapple juice
1 green apple, juiced
2 carrots, juiced
½ small lime, juiced
Top with tonic
Combine all ingredients except tonic in a shaker with ice, shake vigorously, strain over fresh ice and top with tonic. Garnish with lime, serve and enjoy! To spice it up, simply add a jalapeno or cayenne pepper. Always remember to drink responsibly!
