We just came back from Denver, CO, where we spent Christmas with my husband’s family.<\/p>\n

And no, we didn’t go skiing. (Everyone asks that question!)<\/p>\n

Instead, we hung out with family, played card games, and ate plenty of nostalgic foods. My mother-in-law, Lisa, had spent the last week cooking and freezing breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for us. We had Lisa’s sausage bread two ways–with Italian sausage and breakfast sausage, hamburger-topped muffins, chicken enchiladas, Grandma Marion’s cottage cheese lasagna, pizzelles, white chocolate salties, etc., etc.<\/p>\n

The one time we went out to eat, we had lunch at ChoLon Asian Bistro<\/a> in downtown Denver. I read about their famed French onion soup dumplings earlier this year and have been wanting to go ever since.<\/p>\n

The French onion soup dumplings<\/a> were delish, as were the lobster banh xeo<\/em><\/a> and Burmese salad<\/a>. However, the one item I wanted to recreate was a lovely non-alcoholic tipple made with tamarind. I’ve never been a fan of the Mexican tamarindo agua fresca so I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The combination of tart tamarind, citrusy lime and bubbles in this drink totally converted me!<\/p>\n

I don’t drink much alcohol so I’m always on the lookout for fun virgin cocktails and sodas. As soon as I came home, I concocted my version of this tamarind-lime drink.<\/p>\n

Why not serve it to your teetotalling friends at your New Year’s party? It’s going on my drinks list for sure! <\/p>\n

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!<\/p>\n

\"Tamarind<\/a>

At ChoLon Bistro, tamarind pulp and lime juice add different tart notes to this fun bubbly drink.<\/p><\/div>\n[yumprint-recipe id=’37’]For more info on tamarind, go here<\/a>. <\/p>\n
