H A N D S H A K E N HUCKLEBERRY MARGARITA
BY MIKE PECK
Don Julio Tequila Naranja Orange Liquor Lime
Apple Vallery Huckleberry Syrup
My classic hand shaken margarita is delicious and this version adds a taste of “Oregon” to the game. Since huckleberries grow profusely in parts of Oregon this version reminds me of visiting my aunt and cousin during the summer in Hood River Oregon.
Fill margarita glass full with ice. Add a full shot (1.5 oz) of Don Julio Tequila or your preferred brand. Add a half a shot of Naranja Orange Liquor from Mexico (Cointreau can be substituted). 1 whole fresh lime, cut in half using lime juicer to add to glass. Add a quarter and half shot of “Apple Valley” Huckleberry Syrup from Hood River (or similar). Pour into shaker and shake 15 to 20 times. Pour back in the margarita glass and enjoy this spin on a classic. Especially great on Chico’s 110 plus degrees days where you just want to get in the car and head north!
T O O M U C H O F A N Y T H I N G I S B A D , B U T T O O M U C H CHAMPAGNE IS JUST RIGHT.
