![]() You're intended to mix the cordiality with sparkling or still water to a dilution of your liking, and I found, when mixed with soda water, it's like having a lovely, slightly chilled red with just enough effervescence to perk the drink up and really make the flavors pop around your mouth. But the red wine mimic, Jukes 6, has a deep, slightly fruity, mostly spicy taste with a subtle earthiness that gives it that true wine feel. I was less of a fan of the white mimic (Jukes 1), which was a bit peachy for my taste. Jukes Cordiality was created by British award-winning wine writer and wine taster, Matthew Jukes, to mirror the depth, taste, and ability to enhance the flavor of food as wine, but without the alcohol. With just two steps and two ingredients – simple as can be.As a dedicated red wine lover (and a harsh critic), I was surprised when Jukes 6 easily became one of the best non-alcoholic drinks I tested. I obviously do not make many cocktails at home because I have no idea where the ole cocktail shaker was, so we just used a mason jar! #multitasker We used one bottle of juice plus two shots of white tequila, split between two glasses with lots of ice and extra lime for garnish. To prep the margarita we used honey on the rim of the glasses and dipped them onto a plate filled with sea salt. We decided to make a Starfruit Limeade Marg to welcome summer to Cville. Cane juice is the nutrient-rich cold-pressed water that comes before any of the processing to produce cane sugar.Įmily told me that the Caribe juices make amazing cocktail mixers just as they are, and she recommended both tequila and rum. Each juice is blended with cane juice, not to be confused with cane sugar. His exotic cold-pressed juice line consists of Passion Fruit, Guava, Acerola Berry, and our margarita recipe inspiration, Starfruit and Lime. Caribe was born out of a need to offer exotic and nutrient dense juices to US consumers, while also building and supporting small farmers in the Dominican Republic. Luis is a Dominican Republic native who struggled to find the unique flavors of the Caribbean when he was attending the University of Miami for undergrad. Emily has shared some juice with Thomas and me this spring, and we LOVE them! The Starfruit Limeade is my fav, and Thomas is nuts over the Passion Fruit! (Fun fact #3 – they had their wedding at the Clifton Inn just like us!) Emily met Luis while serving as a brand ambassador for the company while he was getting his MBA through Darden’s business school. Fact about Emily: she likes margaritas!Īnother fun fact: Emily is married to, Luis, the owner of a startup cold-pressed juice company, Caribe Juice. This is the smiling face of my intern Emily, who has been working with me this spring as she wraps up her nutrition program and heads into her dietetic internship this fall. Only white! (I wish I was a tequila connoisseur enough to tell you what the difference is, but I just know white > yellow!) I really didn’t miss the tequila because I am particular about which kind of tequila goes into my marg. I like a tart cocktail, so please bring on the lime juice and salt. Recall that I drank all the virgin margaritas last year when I was pregnant. ![]() Tomorrow we get to say “May the 4th be with you” and then it’s Cinco de Mayo! May and September are two of my favorite months because the weather is warm but not hot and generally sunny (KNOCK ON WOOD!) I welcome May flowers with open arms.
