Charbandos

Charbandos

Charbandos is a drink made with jamaica (hibiscus) flowers, pineapple juice, tequila and jalapeno peppers. Its pretty, tasty and has a little kick from the hot pepper. If you've never had Agua de Jamaica (the non-alcoholic drink) then please read our recipe and article.
Drink History
We found this recipe in the Southwest Airlines magazine on our way back from the 2008 Gourmet Products and Housewares show in Las Vegas. The story goes that chef Jonathan McDonald of the Snackbar restaurant in Philadelphia named the drink after Juan "Charbandos" Hernandez a member of the kitchen staff. It seems Juan introduced the chef to the Mexican favorite Agua de Jamaica. The chef created this drink by making a reduction of the jamaica (hibiscus flower) drink then added tequila, pineapple juice and a slice of jalapeno chile.

We used yellow crookneck squash for our Summer Squash and Gruyere Frittata but zucchini or any summer squash will work. This will serve 4 people with a nice side of fresh fruit. We made it for two of us and we still have half for leftovers.
