Apple Peel Bourbon

The idea for this drink comes from Tara Duggan, who wrote about apple peel-infused bourbon, spiced with a bit of cinnamon and clove, in her cookbook, Root to Stalk. (Get the recipe here: https://food52.com/recipes/31446-apple-peel-bourbon.) It's perfect for strangely hot fall days when Mercury is in retrograde and you want to simultaneously pick apples and sit on a beach somewhere with a cool, fizzy drink. I'm in love with the idea of a cold fall-spiced drink -- it's as good a reason as any to peel a bunch of apples and stock up on ginger beer.

Bourbon Street Sour

My friend gave me this recipe but I tweaked her version by adding Italian Maraschino Cherries (Luxardo is a good brand and it makes a world of difference), some of the Maraschino Cherry juice, and switching the whiskey out for bourbon (because it was what I had at the time)... and let me just tell you, it came out to be the most amazing Sour I have had!!! It has nothing to do with New Orleans but I just thought the name was creative. Great for holiday parties!

Blackberry French 75s

I have altered the classic a little, swapping Prosecco for the usual Champagne and adding a blackberry syrup rather than simple syrup. The blackberries make the cocktail feel extra summery to me and turn the cocktails a lovely ruby jewel tone.

Frozen Watermelon Margarita

What’s better than an icy cold slice of watermelon on a hot day? An icy cold frozen watermelon margarita! Allow at least 30 minutes to freeze the watermelon. Or, if you want to prepare ahead of time, freeze it for up to 24 hours before you assemble the cocktail.

Whiskey-Peach Cocktail

Recently I started playing around with how I like whiskey. I'm not cool enough to drink it straight. So I added a little peach with some thyme topping it off with club soda for a little fizz. And let me tell you, this is one good cocktail. Go ahead, give it a try, you will love it.

Champagne Jello Shots

These adorable jello shots are perfect for any occasion, especially New Year’s Eve! I saw this recipe on Erica’s Sweet Tooth and could hardly wait to make them for NYE. They’re easy to make and look so fancy with the festive toothpicks. The guests were “oohing” and “aching” when I walked in with these cuties. Make them with any sweet bubbly wine or champagne.
