Spa Drink
I'm not a fan of cocktails that involve syrup or simple sugar cause they give terrible hangovers, but this Spa Alcoholic Drinks recipe perfectly walks the line.
Four Ingredient Strawberry Martini
I had to attempt to make this strawberry martini recipe from Lure Fishbar in NYC. I accidentally may have ordered two because it was perfectly sweet and delish.
Blueberry Basil Infused Vodka
Made with simmered blueberries and leafy basil, this recipe's complex vodka infusion captures the essence of summer. Fresh, light and wonderfully fragrant.
Cafe Amande
A cocktail inspired by my morning cup of coffee. Infusing almond milk and coffee liqueur this cocktail packs the punch you need. I can’t stand to be wasteful and the end of the coffee pot in the morning or the last of the vanilla almond milk is no exception. I like to save the last little drops of yumminess and freeze them into ice cubes for this cocktail. Cheers!
Elderflower Julep
The jumping off point for this is a classic mint julep. I've added grapefruit juice for its balanced sweet-tart-bitterness, and St. Germain elderflower liqueur, because frankly, I'm enamored with it. The resulting concoction is fresh and boozy, and perfect for a hot summer evening.
Jalapeno tequila margarita
This cocktail has a kick! One sip, and you'll be saying Ole!
Coffee-Coco Mint Frappe
The addition of blueberries in this frappe may seem odd but it lends a delicate fruity flavor without overpowering the main ingredients. It works well and it’s divine!
Does this still count as lemonade?
It is hot. This entire week I haven't wanted to leave my house because it is too darn hot. I needed something for long hard walk (about 10 minutes and I get to stroll through two gardens) to work. This is what I came up with, it's delicious to drink on my way to work, and once I get there I can pull out my fork and go for the fruit which is pleasantly cold and lemony. I put mine in a mason jar because it looks cute and packs easily, but you could use a water bottle or just a glass instead.
Beergarita
The perfectly simple and extremely delicious summer alcoholic beverage. My wife and I enjoy these on the weekend with friends, or make a half batch just for the two of us. And it couldn't be easier to make. Thanks to my sister-in-law Amanda for introducing this to us at my sister's wedding a few years back!
Strawberry Rosé Spritzer
I've traditionally been a purist when it comes to pink wine, but it occurred to me recently that if someone wanted to enjoy the illusion of drinking more rosé without actually getting tipsy, she could combine it with soda water and make a spritzer. (You can take a girl out of the 80s...) What's more, she could whizz up some of those divinely delicious strawberries from the farmers market and add a fruity burst to her spritzer.
SPICY MANGO MARGARITA
Refreshing drink for the summer with just a little kick. Frozen Mango will do just fine, saves time and effort.
Mango-Rum Slushy
As soon as we get settled in to our vacation rental on various tropical islands, it's time to begin our holiday with a tropical libation. Mangoes and the local rum are the flavors we crave. Easy enough to leave out the rum so our kids can enjoy, as well. Sometimes I add strawberries, passion fruit, or whatever else looks inviting at the market. Don' t leave out the coconut water. It keeps you hydrated as the sun and the rum can dry you out in the tropics. If you can't be on holiday, you can make this at home and dream!
Mango Coconut Smoothie
No description! Try it yourself...
Arancello - Sicilian Blood Orange Liqueur
A new spin on the classic limoncello is Arancello, use Sicilian blood oranges in this recipe instead of lemons for a lovely liquor with a bold bright flavor.
Easter Candy Cocktail "Peeptini"
I created a DIY Vodka infusion with Marshmallow Peeps for you! I call it a “Pink Bunny Peeps Easter Candy Cocktail” or “Peeptini”—made with just 2 ingredients for a spirited and playful hot pink colored Easter Cocktail which has a dainty vanilla-marshmallow flavor and a pink bunny garnish, which when seated on the pink-sugar-coated rim of the Martini glass looks like it’s a bunny peep-ing out of a bunny hole!
Maple Old Fashioned
This is just barely off the traditional Old Fashioned recipe, but somehow it only makes sense to pair maple syrup's rich, deep sweetness with the caramel notes of bourbon. It creates just the thing I want to sip on the last few cool evenings we have as we head towards the warmer spring and summer weather. If you want the drink just slightly less sweet mix it up with rye instead of bourbon. A dark, aged rum would make a fun variation as well.
Orangetini
This is sunshine in a glass for adults! This is one of my favorite cocktails to enjoy. These babies go down EASY, so be careful! Once, for a surprise party for my mom with the "help" of my 5 year old daughter, my husband juiced over 100 oranges for this "signature" cocktail to be served at the party - love him!
Brandied Cranberries
These are great on their own, as a salad topping, or in cocktails. I love to make a Cranhattan using the brandy liquer the berries soak in. Just replace the sweet vermouth in with the soaking liquid, and garnish with the cranberries.
Drunken Grapes
Less a recipe and more a suggestion, this came from a Greek friend who liked to entertain. Is it a snack or a drink? You decide. Watch out - they sneak up on you!
Blackberry Champagne Cocktail
An elegant cocktail with fresh blackberries soaked in brandy, champagne, and lindeman's framboise!
Rosé Mango Mimosa
This rosé mango mimosa recipe is delightful, light, fruity, and a fresh summer breeze in the midst of Autumn. It's also a great compliment to ham and pumpkin.
Winter wine cordial
Experimenting with Mirto and red wine this is a suggestion for winter.
Jack N’ Ginger’s Passion Punch
This sneaky punch is inspired by POG – Passion Orange Guava – a popular tropical fruit juice blend first bottled by Haleakala Dairy in the 1970’s. Using grapefruit instead of orange gives the punch a tasty bitter edge, while ginger beer complements the dark character of the whiskey. Passion fruit and guava infuses some of my favorite island flavors and keeps you going back for more, think of this as a tropical twist to ring in the New Year!
Isabelle's Cognac Punch
This recipe comes from my boyfriend's mother, Isabelle. I originally asked for her spiced wine recipe for this contest, which I tried last Christmas, ladled from a pot heated over the wood-burning fireplace in their family room. She told me that she didn't really have a written recipe for her spiced wine; it was just a little of this and a little of that, but offered me her Cognac Punch instead. Since she comes from Cognac, it feels extra authentic. This punch would be great for any holiday party, because it looks and tastes so festive!
