good friends ben & mary impaired us generously with the recipe below.

1 lime, halved

Coarse salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)

1/4 cup Triple Sec

1 cup gold tequila

Ice

1/2 bottle good ipa ~ Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA

To salt the margarita glasses, rub the outside rims of 4 big glasses with a cut lime and press them lightly into a plate of kosher salt, to coat.
Combine the lime juice, sugar, orange liqueur, Triple Sec, tequila, and a big handful of ice in a cocktail shaker (or blender). Shake the margarita really well, for a good 20 seconds, add a splash of beer and strain into the salt rimmed glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.

{compliments of saveur april edition}

" the best Schnell-Imbisse (fast food stalls) make their own currywurst sauce, essentially a curry powder-flavored ketchup. Heat 2 tbsp. canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. add i finely chopped large yellow onion and cook until soft, 8 - 10 minutes. add 2 tbsp. curry powder and 1 tbsp. hot paprika, cook for 1 minute more. using hands, crush 2 cups whole peeled tomatoes from a can with juices into the pan. add 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, and salt to taste. increase heat to high, bring to a boil. reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Puree sauce in a blender until smooth. strain sauce through a sieve"
