Strawberry Shortcake
This Strawberry Shortcake flip is the perfect summer dessert cocktail to celebrate the season.
Forager’s Delight
The Forager’s delight cocktail blends the flavors of mushroom vodka, amontillado sherry and an emulsified miso brown butter syrup to make an unforgettable cocktail. If you want to wow your friends at your next cocktail party, you must make this drink. Since this is a blended cocktail, you could easily scale up the ingredients to make a large batch.
Tzatziki Cocktail
In this Tzatziki inspired cocktail, cucumber brings freshness to the palate, while dill evokes grassy herbal notes of early springtime. Gin is the backbone of this cocktail, but a hint of chartreuse really brings depth while whole fat Greek yogurt rounds out the flavor and texture of this cocktail.
The Great Crannino
Cranberry compote is my favorite Thanksgiving side dish. It also makes for a fantastic cocktail! t’s quite easy to put together too, making it the perfect cocktail for Thanksgiving. The sharpness from the cranberry mixed with a bit of rum and Amaro Nonino will certainly put you in a festive spirit.
Margarita Sorbet
Margaritas are the perfect summer drink- or anytime drink really. My frozen margarita sorbet is the most refreshing summer treat. It’s incredibly simple to make and only uses a handful of ingredients: tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, agave nectar, xanthan gum and ice! Get your blender ready, you will want to make this recipe ASAP!
Chai-Chata
This Chai Spiced Horchata, or as I like to call it, the Chai-Chata is the perfect fall cocktail. Its creamy texture, warm spices and bit of aged rum will make you feel all warm and cozy inside. It’s dairy free and can easily be batched for a party.
Banoffee Cobbler Cocktail
Is it just me, or do all banana flavored things taste like chemicals and not at all like bananas? This Banana infused scotch uses real bananas to give this Banoffee Cobbler a slightly smoky, banana kick.
Breakfast in Paris Cocktail
While I can’t just hop on a plane anytime soon, I can recreate that feeling at home with this cocktail that I’m calling Breakfast in Paris. It is a Kir riff that is reminiscent of a French baguette smothered with butter and jam- a classic Parisian breakfast that I enjoy frequently when I am in France. The fat washing of the cognac takes this simple Kir to the next level.
Caprese-ish Cocktail
I always get my best cocktail ideas when I’m eating. I love a good caprese salad. Oddly enough, it has all the components of what I look for in a cocktail- great acidity, herbal notes, a creamy texture and just a touch of salinity. Instead of simply infusing the ingredients into a spirit or making a syrup, I thought it would be more fun to create a more abstract vision for this drink.
Golden Latte Cocktail
I always want to take healthy ingredients and use them in my cocktails. Allergy season especially has me thinking of this. Once I learned that using local honey helps with seasonal allergies, because it has trace amounts of the pollen in your surroundings, I started incorporating it more into my food and beverages. It definitely helps that it tastes delicious.
Persian Love Cake
There once was a girl who fell madly in love with a Persian prince - so she baked him a cake filled with love magic to make him fall in love with her. The verdict is out on whether it worked or not, but one thing is for sure - this cake is magical. Made of almond flour and lemon. Scented with rose and cardamom and topped with pistachio, I knew this cake would make an excellent cocktail.
Vegan Key Lime Pie Milk Punch
I’ve been making milk punch for quite some time now and have never ventured into vegan milk punch ... until recently. I knew that there had to be a way to make a vegan version of clarified milk punch. Coconut milk seemed like the optimal candidate, the most obvious choice, because it’s essentially the same make up: water, fat and protein, just like in cow’s milk.
Virgin Honey Lavender Milk Punch
When it comes to Milk Punch, there are two styles: the New Orleans style that’s made with rum, brandy and whole milk or cream, and the clarified version sometimes referred to as English Milk Punch that dates back a few centuries. Ben Franklin even had his own recipe.
Watermelon Feta Milk Punch
Watermelon & Feta salad is one of my summertime obsessions. It’s so refreshing on a hot summer day, and the sweet and salty flavor profile is definitely my kind of salad. As I was enjoying one the other day, I thought to myself, how could I make this even more refreshing? The answer of course - is to turn it into a cocktail!
