Grape juice is a tasty, electrolyte-fueled drink. And grape jelly is the ideal sandwich companion to peanut butter. But this isn't about childhood snacks. This is about cocktails. Because Concord grapes are perfect for mixed drinks, thanks to their sweetness and pleasantly dry finish. New York bartender Noah Small harnesses the little fruit's power in the Concord Grape Margarita. He merges Concord grape juice and jelly with Cimarron blanco tequila, a spirit full of roasted highland agave notes, dry earth and pepper. It provides a sturdy foil to the sweet, musky grape, while lemon juice lends the acidity that keeps this drink planted in Margarita territory. The cocktail is served in a glass rimmed with smoked salt, which adds a savory dimension to each sip, and the vibrant color can't be beat. Once you taste this drink, you may never look at Concord grapes the same way. But you will likely stock your kitchen with grape juice and jelly, so you're always ready when a craving strikes—whether it's for sandwiches or cocktails. 6 Things You Should Know About the Margarita
