Kiwi Summer Cocktail
This kiwi summer cocktail recipe is yummy yummy yummy. It not only looks good, it tastes great, and is refreshing on a summer day or night out.
Banana Cardamom Milkshake
Recently, I got an email from my friend Alexandra. She was planning to make banana pudding for a party over the weekend and wondered if I thought it was a good idea to add some cardamom. I enthusiastically gave her two thumbs up, and then proceeded to obsess over the idea for the next few days. Banana and cardamom seemed like such a winning combination -- I knew there must be other ways to put it to good use. After some thought, and inspired in part by our Soda Fountain contest, I decided to try making a banana cardamom milkshake. Happily, it didn't disappoint. Feel free to adjust the cardamom to your taste, as well as the milk to ice cream ratio -- I went for a shake that's not too thick, reminiscent of a smoothie but richer.
Meyer Lemon Key Lime Marmalade
Amazingly delicious Key Lime Marmalade recipe that tastes like you've spread your favorite lemon-lime artificially-sweetened carbonated beverage on your toast.
Pink Lavender-Lemon [Very] Simple Syrup
The lemon juice reacts with the lavender and makes the syrup turn a light pink.
Blood Orange Dreamsicle Float
This float is soda fountain meets ice cream truck and all kinds of lip smacking deliciousness. Who doesn't have great memories of the orange/vanilla popsicle? Aside from being embarrassingly easy to make, it would also be yummy with freshly squeezed tangerine, or just plain freshly squeezed orange juice. I happened to have a bunch of beautiful blood oranges hanging around, so that's what I chose.
Cherry Drop
This summertime cocktail is a cross between a classic lemon drop and an aviation--The addition of a heavenly Luxardo maraschino cherry and a splash of homemade selzer water softens the strong flavors of the lemon and vodka and gives a nice softness to the sugary simple syrup. This drink is fantastic served in a martini glass with the cherry resting at the bottom, or over ice. I coat the rim of each glass with lemon juice and sugar, or as requested on one very festive day--pop rocks candy!
Rhubarb Lime Spring Spritzer
When a neighbor let me pick rhubarb, I found ALittleZaftig's recipe for One-pot Rhubarb Cordial, Sauce, & Compote (http://www.food52.com/recipes/12016_onepot_rhubarb_cordial_sauce_compote). When I finished making it tonight, I really wanted a cool, refreshing drink in my hot kitchen on this early June night.. A little sweet, a little tart, a lovely pale pink -- this is the result, delightful!
Mexican Market Float
We love all the wonderful flavors of soda we find at the Mexican markets in our area and Jarritos is our favorite brand. Used to be we only saw these unusual flavors available in old fashioned glass bottles at restaurants. My son likes Tamarindo (tamarind) and I've decided to take it to the next level by using it in a float. (Photo found at Walmart.com)
Dandelion Clementine Cooler
If you like the classic Campari and soda with orange you'll like this farmer's market beauty. The bitterness of dandelion with the brightness of the clementines is right on time. Have a look. - frankieolives
ZESTY HALF AND HALF
I love ice tea and drink it all year long. There is always a jar brewing on my countertop; what is called sun tea. A big squeeze of lemon juice or two or three are always added...no sugar. In restaurants I often order that drink named after a famous golfer. I love the combo of ice tea and lemon juice. Sometimes it is called a half and half because that is the ratio of ice tea to lemon and water. My version has a rim of lemon zest to punctuate the flavor of the lemon.
Salty Poodle
This drink is not as strong as a greyhound or a salty dog, but it is cuter and more user friendly--like just about every breed that has been mixed with a poodle! - NWB
Cranberry Spritzer
I love infused vodkas. Cranberries give this drink a great tart flavor.
Watermelon Anise Seltzer
The quality of the watermelon used is important. It needs to be ripe and sweet- the kind that releases its aroma as soon as you slice it and the flesh of which seems to dissolve when eating it ( as opposed to the fibrous, light pink and watery varieties). I personally believe that it benefits the fruit if it is well chilled prior to slicing it. If you have a cold brook to lay it in for a while, even better. The rest of the ingredients also should be chilled well, but pay attention to the anise liqueur as it tends to crystalize at too low of a temperature. I am sorry that I am not able to submit along a photo, but the watermelon season is not quite here yet.
Mock Jaboticaba Pop
This recipe was inspired by a friend of mine that lives in Hawaii. She has a jaboticaba shrub growing on her property. A little while ago she was telling another friend of ours and myself about the fruit on the tree. We asked her to try making a jelly out of it, and then of course send us some. She had never canned anything before and we were sort of far away to be able to help her, so her first attempt ended up being more of a syrup. Her second attempt resulted in a jelly and she sent us jars of each. The syrup is perfect for making soda with. The fruit remimded me of something between a blackberry and a cranberry and so with a little tinkering I came up with my mock jaboticaba syrup.
Apple-Mint-Lime cooler (Lemonade)
A tasty combo of Apple juice, spritzed up with Lemonade and the herbiness of Mint. Garnish this recipe with a mint leaf and a lime wedge. Cheers!
Rhubarb and Basil Spritzer
I'm just back from a fabulous day spent preserving and canning rhubarb creations at Mrs. Wheelbarrow's beautiful home with other Food52 peeps, including our fearless leader Amanda. As per usual with a Food 52 event, the food was amazing and plentiful: homemade cheeses by SallyCan, frittata, salads, homemade sausages by the Charcutepalooza Queen herself, and other spreads, pickles and preserves....and the desserts! There was plenty to choose from. Yours truly was in charge of beverages, and I wanted something light and refreshing. I have had strawberry and basil cocktails before, but the theme of the day was Rhubarb - so here is my take on a Rhubarb and Basil Cocktail. They're refreshing and light as promised, not too sweet, and you can booze them up or down or not at all according to your preference.
Banana-date shake
This shake is a meal on the go, IMO. It's light enough so that it doesn't way you down , gives you lots of energy, and cools you down, as well.
Raspberry Lambic Float
This comes from my friend Danny. My friend Danny who hates dessert. Several years ago we used to have these Iron Chef offs. Four of us would each make two dishes in amuse bouche form. Then we invited two friends to be our Jeffrey Steingartens. They would blind judge and deem someone the winner. I don’t think Danny won for this dish but he should have. I recreated this recipe last summer when having my annual girls, weekend with my god-daughters (I made theirs with raspberry soda). The picture is a larger format then what the recipe calls for.
Peppermint Lemon Stick Cocktail
For this Lemon Stick recipe, simply jam a hollow peppermint candy into a lemon as a straw, and you have an instant treat. It's sweet, juicy, sour and minty.
Lime Mint Spritz
Moving to the desert has given me a new obsession with cold drinks- you can only convince yourself to chug so much water! This recipe sprung from a local deli's lime spritzer offering that I craved every day last summer and the fact that I just can't tame my mint! So what if I accidentally re-invented a mojito? I certainly won't judge if you a splash of rum (preferably white).
Lemon and Sherry Spritzer (aka Rebujito)
Cherry, rhubarb and their hushed, pink peppered affair
Continuing in a flurry of sorted rhubarb liaisons, this recipe offers a compote with some secret stars. If you wanted to can this, you would need to increase the sugar or go for addition of pomona pectin. But a small batch should last a good while in the fridge in a sealed jar.
Violet Lassi
This recipe was created because we were at the wonderful Radiance Dairy in Fairfield, Iowa and wanted to try their yogurt -- also their fields were full of violets. These mystical flowers have many health benefits including bountiful Vitamin C and anti-oxidants. The blueberries are included because the violet color didn't come through when I first made it on the road -- they should make it seem a little more like a violet drink. Alternatively, you can take out the honey and blueberries and use this as a sauce for a light fish, or serve it with dandelion fritters (recipe also on food52).
Quick and Easy Naan Pizza
This brainstorm came together as my husband and I drove home one night not quite knowing what we were going to do for dinner. We were tossing around ideas to replace bacon for a BLT (we recently became pescetarians) and it evolved into a sort of fresh pizza based on what was cheap, available and in the fridge at home. Easy on the clock and the budged, with a big helping of yummy. -corkage
