When you level-up from a Salty Dog, you get a spicy, citrusy drink I call Amores Perros. The name of the cocktail is not only a fun homage to the amazing 2000 Mexican crime thriller feature film bearing the same name, but a Latin twist to the American classic Salty Dog cocktail of the ‘50’s, which was actually a variation to another classic doggy-drink called the Greyhound. Amores Perros is a vodka drink combined with a simple, no-heat-required cucumber syrup, fresh grapefruit and lemon juices with a hint of heat from muddled jalapeño plus a Tajin seasoning rim. Slap a small handful of fresh cilantro and place it inside your glass, and you have yourself one tasty, sexy, gorgeous drink.
The citrus flavors along with the fresh, clean, sweet cucumber syrup make this a perfect drink to have a long with any fish or meat dish, tacos, tostadas or even when snacking on chips, salsa and guacamole. Options are endless and the flavors combine perfectly!
Enjoy! Salud!
