 Peach Nectar Margarita

Peach Nectar Margarita with Infused Thai Basil

Juice of 3 limes
3 shots of tequila
Nectar of 1 over ripe, juicy peach
1 tablespoon of local honey 
Thai Basil
Ice to fill a glass

Makes 3-4 drinks

I love infusing the tequila with some fresh herbs - gives it that garden taste!  My choice of tequila is Don Nachos (100 percent agave).  It tastes like premium tequila at half the price.   I think I might freeze some of this peach nectar.  It will remind me of some great summer days.  Cheers!!

Peaches at Eastern Market

It’s about the last week for peaches at the NY farmer’s market, but in DC you get an extra week or two.   I’m not ready for Halloween pumpkins yet, so let me savor one last taste of a 2010 peach in Washington, DC.   This weekend, I am visiting some great friends and picking up some amazing produce at the Eastern Market, located in Capitol Hill  near the aptly named Eastern Market metro stop.   The market includes both an open air farmers market and an indoor market where you can buy fresh fish, cheese, flowers, and produce or just sit down for a nice lunch.
