Peach Ginger Vodka Cocktail

August 30, 2013

The farmers market had some gorgeous peaches so I grabbed some of my ginger infused syrup, some peaches, some seltzer and got to work!

Peach Ginger Vodka Cocktail:

Muddle 1/2 a peach in the bottom of your glass.
Add 2 Tablespoons Ginger Simple Syrup.
Muddle 3 mint leaves into mixture.
Add 1 oz vodka (you could also do a light rum).
Fill glass with ice and then top with seltzer.
Stir and enjoy!

* Ginger Infused Syrup:

Heat 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water on the stove until sugar has dissolved.
Turn off heat and add 1 ginger root (peeled and sliced) into the simple syrup mixture and let steep for about 30 minutes.

Tasty

I was cleaning out my pantry and came across some TJ’s enchilada sauce that I hadn’t used yet… so I roughly followed this recipe (substituting enchilada sauce for salsa and putting chicken and cheese inside) and topped with avocado, olives and cilantro.

Banh Mi Sandwich

I love this blog and I love Banh Mi, so when I saw this variation (I typically make it with meatballs), I had to jump on it! And boy was it worth it… KILLER marinade, and I topped it with a perfectly fried egg and deliciously pickled veggies…. yum!

Lime Peach Chicken over Brown Rice

Mix 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice, 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add 3 thinly sliced peaches, 1/2 of a thinly sliced red onion, 1 Tablespoon mined jalapeno and 2 cups cooked shredded chicken. Toss well to coat.
I served it with cilantro over brown rice, although you could also serve in butter lettuce cups as well. Enjoy!
