Paloma Pura Cocktail

Oaxacan Hibiscus Margarita

Oregano Iced Tea

You can find sour cherries at your local farmers market. You can buy sour cherry juice for $2 at the Union Square Greenmarket in New York City. A honey glazed rim adds a hint of sweetness to counteract the sour and salty flavors present in the drink.

Freshly ground coarse salt
1 tablespoon honey
1 ½ ounces vodka
3 ounces sour cherry juice
1 lime, juiced (or two key limes)
Ice
Garnish: 2 sour cherries

Spread enough salt on a small plate to line the rims of 2 cocktail glasses. Dab the honey across another small plate. Run the juiced lime rind around the rim of the glasses, then invert the glass over the plate with honey. Coat the rim in honey, and then repeat with the plate of salt.
Combine the vodka, cherry juice, and lime in a martini shaker. Add ice and shake up well. Pour into the two salt-rimmed glasses. Garnish with the sour cherries and serve.

Serves 2.
