Ginger Pear Sorbet Spritzer with fennel pollen and champagne
I just bought myself an ice cream maker! On the same day my good friend (and fellow food 52 cook), Jennifer Ann sent me a tin of fennel pollen. This is my first time using this ingredient. It is indeed heavenly, especially with the ginger and champagne... Truly a "Spring Refresher".
"Sweet and Bubbly"
This cocktail was inspired by the "Dark and Stormy", a delicious drink I had a few years ago in Bermuda (and which is made from ginger beer, dark rum and lime juice, I believe).
Meyer Lemon Shandy
I spent last year studying in London, and on hot summer days, my roommate and I used to sit outside on our patio, or in one of the beautiful public parks in London (hurrah for lack of public drinking bans!) and drink shandy, a delicious mix of lager and lemonade. I've updated the recipe to use Meyer lemons, which are available at my local market these days, but regular lemons work just fine! - ChristineB
Minty Iced Tea
I keep a container of this concentrate in my fridge almost all the time. It's a refreshing, envigorating way to use up an abundance of spring mint. - vvvanessa
Negroni Spritzer
It was love at first sip for the Negroni and me. This is a delicious, refreshing drink that I thoroughly enjoy anytime. This negroni spritzer recipe is divine!
May wine
When Sweet Woodruff blooms in May, harvest its white blossoms to make this May Wine recipe, a fragrant, herbal-infused white wine, served with a strawberry.
Elderflower Shandy
I love elderflower martinis - with a passion. But, I'm not afraid to admit they get the best of me at times. Obviously, the elderflower water isn't to blame, so I found another way to enjoy it...responsibly. The elderflower water becomes an alternative to lemonade in a shandy, with its faint hit of citrus and mellow, sweet flavor. Add just a bit of club soda to give it a springtime-y fizz, and you've got a light and refreshing barely-cocktail perfect for imbibing on a patio with some friends.
Mouthwatering Watermelon Martini
I came up with this to please my girl friends in the hot tub while dreaming of warmer weather...April, May? Remember it's cold where I live. This was spring in a glass. Refreshing, cool, and hydrating. The mint and lime zest make it. Make sure the melon (you could use any kind) is ripe and remove the seeds. We love this,enjoy!
Porto Spritzer
With some clients, we had gone for a porto tasting at The Château Frontenac's famous Champlain restaurant. It's host, Mr. Perreira, a legend in Quebec, was the one leading the tasting. This was his last drink... I was so impressed to attend such an event, and was even more so when we learned he had passed away a few weeks after. Cheers!
Grapefruit Blossom Aperitif
This fragrant grapefruit blossom aperitif cocktail recipe is a combination of a kir-the classic French combination of wine & blackcurrant syrup.
Mint Sauce for Lamb
This mint sauce recipe is fleet-of-foot, capable of cutting through the richness of lamb with just the right mix of acid, fragrance, and sweetness.
Squashed Potatoes
This squashed potatoes or smashed potatoes recipe uses Susan Spungen's potato tostones technique but with a twist. These potatoes are the perfect side dish!
Status Quo
A friend of mine at the Reef in Washington, D.C. concocted this for me one night last spring and I've never looked back. Almost every time I order this, no matter where I go, I convert a skeptical bartender or fellow bar-goer. My buddy Patrick at Bar Pilar (also in Washington) ingeniously suggested I substitute ginger beer for the ginger ale; I would recommend the same if you happen to have that handy. But ginger ale works just as well. While I have specified Angostura bitters here, that just reflects my personal preference. There are many varieties of bitters available, but I find the Angostura really amplifies the citrus in the vodka and the ginger in the mixer. But whatever your choice, use it judiciously--a little goes a long way.
Two Peas with Preserved Lemon & Mint
I was making a spring-themed dinner for a friend who is watching her fat intake and came up with this easy side dish that combines very flavorful ingredients that really highlight the peas. - gluttonforlife
Grilled Asparagus with lemon and garlic
This is a personally created recipe, though the basic flavors are pretty standard. It has been a success at many a barbecue.

Red Bell Pepper-Walnut Dip (Muhammara)
Savory Toasted Pine Nuts
These tasty toasted pine nuts make a nice alternative recipe to nuts, for use in salads, on sauteed greens, or in savory cookies, crackers or pastries.
Salsa Verde
Danny Mena, the Mexico City native who is a chef at Hecho en Dumbo, described a good salsa as being “poignant” with heat when he spoke with Julia Moskin in 2010. This recipe for his salsa verde employs a good number of chiles — anywhere between eight and 12 — alongside a couple of pounds of tangy tomatillos. Ms. Moskin described it as “a rounded, tomatillo-based trickle of concentrated flavor with Serrano chiles.” This cooked sauce is ready quickly, and just as good as a table sauce as it is in a larger main, like chilaquiles.
Lemon Lime Margaritas
This lemon-lime margarita recipe uses less tequila and more Cointreau than the standard margarita which made us think the drink might be sweet, but it's not.
rainy day ginger bourbon tea
i just made this up yum.. while baking corn bread ( recipe coming) (mild honey or turbinado sugar is best )
My Meyer Lemon Marmalade
I adapted this recipe from my well-thumbed copy of The New Basics. Using Meyer lemons adds a higher proportion of juice to the jam, so be prepared to cook it as noted. I increased the sugar to get the degree of tartness I was looking for in a marmalade. I borrowed Anna Pump's suggestion (via Ina Garten) to reheat the jam the next morning to thicken it properly. Tasty enough on toast with cream cheese, this marmalade might make a nice addition to a layer cake or swirled into muffins.
Poor Man's Kombucha
This drink has the vinegar-y tang of kombucha, without the cringe-inducing price tag. Of course, the ultimate poor man's kombucha would be to make your own, but this is faster and less work, and has a charm all its own.
Sunchoke Chips
These sunchoke chips can be whipped up in minutes. This unique recipe with an artichoke alternative has such a unique taste, it will surely be a success!
