Magic Tequila Lemonade
2 oz Tequila Blanco
2 to 3 oz Red Cabbage Water
2 to 3 oz Lemonade
Lemon Wedge
For the Red Cabbage Water
1 Medium Red Cabbage
Boiling Water
Cut the red cabbage into 1” strips. Pour enough boiling water over the cabbage to cover the cabbage and let it sit for 20 – 30 minutes until cool. The liquid should be a dark purple color. Pour the liquid into a pitcher and reserve the cabbage for another use.
For the Lemonade
1 ¾ cups white sugar
4 cups water, divided
1 ½ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
Combine sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Stir to dissolve sugar while mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool. Pour cooled syrup into a pitcher, then stir in lemon juice and remaining 3 cups water. The result is a concentrated lemonade; add additional water to enjoy on its own.
Assembly
Pour Tequila into a Collins glass filled with ice. Fill glass halfway with Red Cabbage Water. Fill the rest of the glass with Lemonade. Cocktail will appear a layered ombre; stir with straw to create solid pink hue. Garnish with Lemon Wedge.
Easy Mason Jar sauerkraut
ingredients
- 300 grams of Green Cabbage
- 10 Unrefined sea salt
- 100 grams of filtered water
- Caraway Seeds
instructions
- Wash your fermentation equipment (jar, weight and lid)
- Remove the outer leaves of your cabbage and lightly rinse with cool water. Using a knife, chop the cabbage to your desired thickness.
- Place your kitchen scale on the counter. Turn it on and set it to weigh in grams.
- Place a mixing bowl on your kitchen scale and tare/zero the scale.*
- Add chopped cabbage into the bowl on your scale until the scale reads 300 grams.
- Remove the bowl of cabbage from the scale and set aside. Place a small, empty bowl on your scale and tare/zero the scale. Weigh out 10 grams of salt.
- Add the 10 grams of salt into the bowl with the cabbage, and mix with your clean hands until the cabbage becomes wet. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Place your empty, clean mason jar on the scale, and tare/zero the scale. Make sure your scale is still set to grams and add 100 grams of filtered water to your mason jar.
- Add the 100 grams of water into the bowl with the cabbage and salt. Add the caraway seeds (optional). Mix everything well.
- Starting with the liquid, add the entire contents of the bowl into your mason jar, and pack everything down using a tamper, wooden spoon, or your hand.
- Place your glass fermentation weight in the jar, making sure to submerge the cabbage pieces and weight fully into the liquid. If you don’t have quite enough liquid, place your glass fermentation weight in the jar and submerge as much a possible. Over the next 12 hours, the cabbage should release more liquid and you can press down your fermentation weight below the brine.
- Secure the standard mason jar lid to the mason jar.
- Ferment for at least 21 days.
