January 2014 - Mazatlan Mexico


In the spirit of being in Mexico for the next few weeks I am going to post Spanish words.

Today's letter is N  ñ

The Spanish alphabet, with 27 letters, is the same as the English alphabet with the addition of the ñ.

Today's example is el Niño or Niña - little boy or girl

MICHELADA
The michelada, one of the most popular drinks in Mexico, is a beer-based cocktail made with lime, hot sauce, Worcestershire, and often tomato (or Clamato) juice, all served over ice in a glass with a salted rim.
This recipe appeared in Bon Appetit.
