In keeping with my Sammy Hagar Cabo Wabo theme this week, I tried out another drink and meal. The Waborita was so beautifully photographed in his cookbook that I had to try it out (plus it matched my outdoor charger plates perfectly). My husband says I need to change my blog site name to "Designer Chef", because I obsess over colors matching my food stories.
I had some leftover shrimp from my Sammy's Wabo Shrimp so I thought it would make the perfect compliment to a quesadilla. I cut up the shrimp into small bites and seared them with a few pieces of diced leftover bacon from breakfast. Included with that I added some pepper jack shredded cheese and a little salsa. The shrimp and bacon combination flavor took me right back to one of my favorite meals I used to have in Pasadena, CA at "La Nueva Posada" restaurant. Wow! One of the best quesadillas I have ever had!

2 ounces premium tequila preferably a blanco
1 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce lime juice, plus a little more for the rim of the glass
Salt
A splash of Curacao liqueur
Mix all of the ingredients except for the salt and curacao in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Rub lime juice over half the rim of a glass and turn the glass upside down into salt, so that the salt sticks. Shake and strain into the glass. Add the splash of curacao, and watch that drink turn a pretty ocean blue.
** Blogger's Warning - Do not plan on leaving the house after one of these Waboritas...and definitely don't drink more than one. They are a very pretty drink, but also very potent! Prepare for a nap instead. Enjoy responsibly and sleep tight...
