Aye Caramba! This ain’t no Gringo Coffee! Warm those bones with a tequila spiked coffee. The coffee cocktail is the creation of Quentin Ertel, owner of The Saint Social Club in Seattle, and is perfect after a long week and a chilly day. This cocktail will put the zip back in your shorts and give you a second wind as you wind your way into the weekend. Manana never tasted so good!

Agave Nectar Whipped Cream
Agave Nectar Whipped Cream
Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp light agave nectar (not dark agave)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp light agave nectar (not dark agave)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Pour heavy cream into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add agave and vanilla.
Beat with a hand mixer until the cream starts to stiffen. At first everything will remain liquid around the beaters for a while and then suddenly begin to clump together at about 30-45 seconds. Your whipped cream will still be light and airy at this point and form medium peaks. Don’t whip any more or you’ll end up with butter!
Yum!!
