Ingredients

1 lb. tomatillos, husked, rinsed

Pinch of salt

Pinch of sugar

1 garlic clove, halved

1/2 fresh habanero chile

1 cup reposado tequila (See NOTE 1 below)

4 dashes of Maggi Seasoning

Ice cubes

4 fresh cilantro sprigs

4 radishes

~~~~

NOTE 1: To become a reposado the tequila must be 'rested' in wooden tanks or barrels for a minimum of two months. It can be rested as long as eleven months ( a year or longer and it is classified as tequila añejo ) but is usually not done for more than six.

Directions

Puree whole tomatillos in processor. Strain through sieve set over bowl, pressing firmly on solids to yield 1 cup juice. Discard solids.

Mix salt and sugar into juice.

Mix in garlic and chile -- let stand 1 minute. Discard garlic and chile.

**NOTE 2: Tomatillo mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.

Stir tequila and Maggi Seasoning into tomatillo mixture.

Fill 4 tall glasses with ice.

Pour mixture over. Garnish each with cilantro and radish.

Wow this is different, it is a MUST try. It sure is a twist to the way we are use to mixing drinks. I guess that when it comes to mix drinks you can also get creative. This sure is creativity. Thanks for sharing.

You really know your stuff, when it comes to tequila.
I grow Tomatillo's last year I grew the verde and a purple variety. This year I will only grow the green.

I can not wait for this years crop so I can try this wonderful recipe.
