Using balsamic vinegar in mixed drinks is a great way to add flavor without adding sugar, preservatives or artificial coloring. Each tablespoon of balsamic vinegar has only 3 grams of natural sugars from the grapes with the exception of our Vermont Maple Balsamic Vinegar which has 8 grams of sugar because it is made with real Vermont maple syrup. In this recipe we are using Key Lime Balsamic Vinegar instead of simple syrup or agave nectar.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup orange liqueur
- 1/2 cup Olive This! Key Lime Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Tequila
- (optional) a few tablespoons of Olive This! Jalapeno Balsamic Vinegar
- (optional) Kosher salt, to rim the glass
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in shaker along with ice. Shake and serve.
Optionally, if you enjoy a more tangy, spicy drink top your glass with a tablespoon or two of Jalapeno Balsamic Vinegar.
Makes four servings.
