Cranberry Apple Sparkling Punch
This punch is very easy to assemble, and can be enhanced with a nice cranberry or apple sorbet if you want to make it very festive. I highly recommend Jeni Bauer's Cranberry Royale Sorbet from her book, JENI'S SPLENDID ICE CREAM AT HOME.
Homemade Limoncello
This recipe comes straight from Positano, home of the head-sized lemons!
Blood Orange and Ginger Punch (Cocktail)
Blood Orange juice & Ginger ale are paired with lime and, for the adult version, liquor, vodke or rum, to create this wonderful Cocktail recipe. Cheers!
Apple Rye Moonshine Punch
This recipe is fall in a tumbler. Rye Moonshine gets your blood running hot, two kinds of Apple cider sweeten & spice it up, and bitters give it depth. Cheers!
Spiced Warm Holiday Punch
Hurricane Irene Risotto
Maintaining basic stables in ones hOMe is the elemental theme and concept for Recipe$ 4 $urvival. When the hurricane was approaching I treated myself to fabulous sugar plum grape tomatoes and Aborio rice. I had the onion - SMILE. I don't know, the dish screamed cOMfort food to me and what more did I need during the hurricane.
Pear-Infused Vodka
There are few cocktails better than a high-quality vodka with a real fruit infusion. In this pear-infused recipe, you will be rewarded after a one-week wait.
Bloody Snake Bite
This Red Rattlesnake Drink recipe has the potent & tangy combination of lime, Southern Comfort & cranberry juice. Make when you're in a New Orleans kind of mood.
Poor Man's Kirsch (Alternately: Redneck Kirsch)
I wanted to preserve sour cherries in something without too much flavor. Having no vodka on hand, I turned to white lightening. Voila: homemade kirsch recipe.
“Plum Wine” with Lime
Black plums are one of my favorite things. This Lime Plum Wine recipe is tangy and refreshing and a lovely shade of deep pink. Garnish with a small basil leaf.
The Nairobi
This is a mojito-like variation on my Kenyan-Indian friends' favorite cocktail, Jameson and Ginger Ale. I threw this together when I had some leftover minced basil, mint, and cilantro on the cutting board. Just add lime and voila.
Basil Vodka Gimlet Cocktail
This simple, refreshing gimlet cocktail is a pitch-perfect blend of basil, fresh lime juice, and vodka that was made for sipping outside with friends.
Children of the Sun Cocktail
This drink was inspired by the spicy margaritas at Las Perlas in LA. It calls for jalapeño-infused tequila and some smoked salt on the rim (that smokiness with the tequila reminds me of mezcal). I made tons of these for lounging by the pool during this year's Coachella (thus the name). The key to a good poolside cocktail is something refreshing, citrus-y and easy to make. I highly recommend tripling this recipe and keeping a pitcher by the pool.
Frosted Ginger Peach Bellini
Ripe, sweet summer peaches make this drink seasonal and delicious!
Ginger Cranberry Cooler
Cape Cods seem a bit strong for a summer sipping drink, so I refreshed the Cape Cod with some ginger ale for a refreshing summer drink.
Crema di Limoncello - Limoncello Milk Liqueur
This crema di limoncello is a typical recipe from the South of Italy, based on the Limoncello but adding milk to the liqueur. Serve the subtle drink chilled.
Evergreen
Very Belini like, not too alcoholic, full of fruit, blended using a fruit slush rather then ice to cool it.
Cherise's Special
Sorry for the stock photo...in the process of moving and just joined...just got back from Antigua and the bartender, Cherise, made a fantastic, blue, frozen concoction she served in a martini glass. After doing some reasearch, it's very close to a frozen blue hawaiian. The raspberry drizzle compliments the otherwise tropical flavors and adds a pleasant contrast to the vibrant blue.
Prickly Pear Wine Coolers
This recipe makes a gourmet wine spritzer, sort of! Use prickly pear syrup, which is surprisingly easy to find at most liquor stores or gourmet shops.
White Chocolate Pudding Cocktail
The combination of ingredients in this White Chocolate Cocktail recipe needs to be jaw-dropping delicious to make for the perfect cocktail for the summer months.
The Earl
A British-y, tea-based inspired by a cocktail at Park Slope's fine Fornino pizzeria, made portable for a midweek grill in Prospect Park.
Bunga Bunga
Still another concoction in our tribute series to the antics of Italy’s adorable former head of state, Silvio Berlusconi who has done everything but erect a stripper pole in Palazzo Chigi where Italy’s lower house meets. When he was entertaining his huge entourage his meals always included meals in the colors of the “tricolore”, Italy’s flag; green, white, and red. Here comes the red part. E basta cosi.
The Mamie Taylor (A Dark And Stormy With Whiskey)
The Mamie Taylor is one of my favorite drink recipes. It's similar to a Dark 'n Stormy but made with rye whiskey instead of rum and topped with ginger beer.
Gin Sangria
Perfect for a hot summer day!
