The Royale Cocktails

This evening I found an old  recipe for a "Mango Margarita".  

One of my favorite Wedding Site Familiarization trips was hosted by  the Karisma Properties in "Riviera Maya."  A few years ago, "The Gourmet All-inclusive: concept was just introduced.  Karisma hired a new chef, and travel agents were treated to a tasting festivity.  I'm not big drinker, but this particular trip we must have experienced every "new cocktail" under the sun.  A sip here, a sip there, a tequila tasting here.   One drink that comes to mind is the "MOSQUITO".  It's a "Tamarind" liqueur.  The rim of the glass is garnished with chili.  The initial effect is a slight tingle on the lips that catches the victim off guard  before savoring the effects of a semi-sour elixir. Thus, rightly named the "MOSQUITO".

The Mexican Nation is known for it's tequila. In tequila tasting, you should swirl the tequila first before swallowing.  This way you can savor the taste.  The variations of tequila are just as sophisticated as visiting a winery.  Combine the tequila tasting with a "Meet and Greet" for a wedding party, you have the best icebreaker between friends and family before a wedding.

I got this recipe from a cookout at the El Dorado Royale.  The Head Gourmet Chef arranged for our party to meet on the beach side for Mexican Cooking Lessons.  Next ocean waves beating against the sand, surrounded by fire torches were stations for variations of  Mexican Meals indigenous to the Riviera Maya.
When I entered the event, a beautiful apron embroidered with my name was waiting at my seat.  Every table at the event had an assigned station.  I got the Margarita Station.  I kind of just stood around while someone else did the honors.  I wonder why?
