Frozen El Diablo Cocktail
This post brought to you by Altos Tequila. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Southern FATTY. I’ve been on this mission lately at home in the Fatty test kitchen.

Key Lime Kiki Meringue Tart
Nothing says warmer weather is coming more than Key Lime.

Bruleed Banana Daiquiri
I scream. You scream. We all scream for… daiquiris! Pretty sure that’s how it goes.

Homegrown Tomato Salsa
I’m that guy that visits every Mexican restaurant in town to test the margarita and salsa waters. If it doesn’t pass the good chips and salsa test, vámanos! Having just returned from Mexico, I was on a salsa kick. I have a few favorite restaurants here in Nashville that pass my salsalitmus test, but…
Homemade Guacamole + Writing Process Tour
