Sala-Sabor de Mexico's El DiabloPublished on: 01/26/2006
DEVIL INSIDE
Some say we have a devilish side to our psyches. Get in touch with your inner pitchfork at Sala-Sabor de Mexico (1186 North Highland Ave., Virginia-Highland). Its El Diablo sounds like it could be a hot seller at Hell's beach resorts. Sauza Hornitos tequila, creme de cassis, lime sour and ginger ale may help soothe infernal tongues.
VALENTINES, ALREADY?
Didn't we just mail our Christmas cards? In just a couple of weeks, Cupid hits town. So go ahead and devise a plan to snag that unrequited love. Start perfecting The Crush, featuring 1 1/2 ounces of Kahlua, a 1/2 ounce of Cointreau and a 1/4 ounce of Godiva dark chocolate liqueur. Mix together in a cappuccino mug, then pour in 3 ounces of steamed milk.
PERFECT 10
We all know the old adage: Never drink before noon. Well, at 10 a.m., it's noon somewhere. And on this vast planet, a Tentini might be tempting someone at about that time. Shake 1 ounce of Tanqueray's No. Ten gin with a 1/4 ounce of apple brandy over ice. Strain into a glass and garnish with a sliver of apple.
