Keylimemockarita Recipes

Steps:

• Combine margarita mix, citrus soda and a dash of key lime juice in a drink shaker with ice, and shake well.
• Moisten glasses with lime juice and then dip into a plate of kosher salt.
• Add ice to each glass and top off with the Mockarita mixture.
• Garnish with a lime slice if desired.

Steps:

• For the vanilla cake: Butter and flour two 8-inch round cake pans; line the bottoms with parchment rounds. Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside. Cream the butter and granulated sugar together in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the egg whites. Beat until smooth, about 30 seconds. Beat in the vanilla.
• Reduce the speed to medium and add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the buttermilk and beginning and ending with the flour, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl several times. Beat on high to smooth the batter, 10 to 15 seconds. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold the sprinkles in by hand.
• Divide the batter between the 2 pans and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake until a tester inserted in the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cakes on a rack for about 15 minutes, then remove from the pans, peel off the parchment and cool completely.
• For the key lime buttercream: Cream the butter and cream cheese in a clean mixer bowl in the stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and salt and beat on the lowest speed until combined. Add the vanilla, lime zest and 2 tablespoons of the juice, then slowly increase the speed to high and beat until very light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes, adding the last tablespoon of lime juice if the buttercream seems too stiff to spread easily.
• Set one cake layer on a serving platter or cake turntable if you have one. Spread the top with about 1 1/2 cups buttercream almost to the edges. Top with the other cake layer, flat-side up. Spread the top of the cake with a heaping cup of buttercream and smooth with a large offset spatula. Spread the remaining buttercream on the sides of the cake. Hold the offset spatula at a 45-degree angle to the cake and rotate the cake (or turntable) to smooth the edges, leaving a thin layer of buttercream with the layers slightly showing through.
• Sprinkle the top of the cake with sprinkles and decorate the edge with the lime slices. Chill the cake to set the layers for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Pour the graham cracker crumbs in a shallow dish. Rub a lime wedge around the edge of a martini glass and roll the edge in the graham cracker crumbs. Chill the glass for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
• Combine the vanilla vodka, key lime liqueur, pineapple juice, and cream in a shaker. Fill the shaker half full with ice and shake until well blended. Pour into prepared martini glass, garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease and flour one 9-by-12-by-2-inch cake pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix the gelatin, granulated sugar, flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir to mix well. Add the oil, orange juice, lemon juice, vanilla, and eggs. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter evenly in the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Test for doneness by lightly touching the tops or inserting a toothpick. Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack.
• For the glaze: While the cake is still hot, mix the lime juice and confectioners' sugar together well. Pierce the cake with a fork to allow the glaze to soak in better and pour it over the cake on the cooling rack. Allow cake to cool completely as you prepare the icing.
• For the icing: Cream the butter and cream cheese. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until mixture is smooth and easy to spread. Spread the icing on the top and sides of the cake.

Steps:

• Rub the rim of a rocks or margarita glass with lime wedge, then dip in coarse salt.
• Combine Key lime juice and remaining ingredients in an ice-filled shaker. Shake vigorously and pour into prepared glass.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the parfait, whip the cream until soft peaks form and set aside. In a small bowl place the gelatin in cold water. In a small pot, cook 2 ounces of the sugar with the water until it reaches 121 degrees F.
• Whip the egg yolks and slowly whip the cooked sugar into the yolks and let cool. Whip the egg whites and the remaining 2 ounces sugar to form stiff peaks. Remove the gelatin from the water and add the gelatin, zests, and lime juice to the whipped yolks and hot sugar mixture. Combine the mixture with the whipped egg whites and cream. Pour the mixture into a cone shaped mold and freeze.
• To prepare the tulip batter, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Spread the mixture onto a silicone baking pad or parchment paper into the shape of a hand and bake until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and immediately invert each tulip over a cup to form a basket shape. Allow to cool and set aside.
• To make the mojito, combine the fresh mint, corn syrup, lime juice, and zest into a blender and pulse until combined. Stir in the rum and chill until needed.
• Preheat oven to 340 degrees F.
• To make the biscocho, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Pour the mixture into 4 (4-ounce) aluminum cups until 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven, and let cool.
• To assemble, place the biscocho upside-down in the middle of the plates. Place the tulip on top of the biscocho with the parfait cone inside the tulip. Pour the sauce on the plate around the biscocho tower. Garnish with fruits or chocolate shavings.
