This isn't actually us, but hey, it's from us, so here it is.
We were at the Bouchee Cafe and Creperie the other night, and the owner, Tiffany D., had just been presented with an idea for a drink special by a guy from Mexico. He knew what went in the drink, but not the exact portions. So he had scribbled down the basic idea and passed it to Tiffany, and we were there when it happened.
Tiffany then suggested this interesting idea: any of our readers who wanted to could go ahead and make this drink at home (or at least a rough appoximation) and come to Bouchee with their recipe. The bar will make it up, and it's yours on the house, which may be a good or bad thing if you've made it kind of shoddily. Plus, you'll get a free dessert with your meal just for coming in with the drink recipe.
What the name of the drink? No idea. The guy didn't have one, and I haven't come up with one. So think of one on your own.
A couple things. The dessert crepes are to die for, truly tasty. Get one with nutella, vanilla ice cream and strawberry jam, a delicious combo.
Second, the drink is not to be toyed with. It's some drink.
Here's the basic recipe:
Condensed Milk, about a cup
Peanut Butter
A little Vanilla Extract
Some Tequila
Blend with Ice
I think this makes two drinks. I made up a version for me and Brandon, and it worked for two. It's kind of like a shake when it's done, but you could maybe make one a bit thinner by adding some water, I don't know. And the taste? Well, it's a peanut butter shake of great tastiness, but with tequila. Which is...different.
Bouchee is at 34th and Fremont in Fremont, Tiffany's the one who's running the place, the magician will do funny tricks if you let him. So stop in with a recipe, have the drink (I dare you) have a dinner crepe and enjoy your dessert. Don't forget to mention us.
