We are often asked where we get inspiration for our drink recipes. A common starting point is taking a classic such as a margarita and make small changes. Or in this case some rather abrupt changes. At some point the original drink my still be recognizable but far removed from lineage. If you build this cocktail correctly you will find it sour first, then sweet. The green Chile is noticeable from the first time you swallow. Passion fruit works well with the Chile, who knew!?

Moog Over Rita was also inspired by the lovers on the album Cover from the Les Baxter album below.

3 oz. Citrus Medley (1 part lemon, 1 part lime, 2 parts Cara Cara or Blood Orange)

1.5 oz. Añejo Tequila

.5 oz. St. George Green Chile Vodka

.5 oz. Cointreu

.3 oz. Passion Fruit Syrup

Rim your glass with a premium cocktail Salt. We enjoy Twang - a - Rita brand and used the Paloma Love flavor. Add all other ingredients to your shaker with plenty of ice. Shake well and strain into your glass. Garnish with fresh peels from lime, lemon and orange.
