My life is now complete. Two of my favorite things combined. Grilled cheese and the bloody caesar. This wasn't even my idea. How could it have not been?
Champagne, gin, and lemon juice are all high up on my list of favorite boozy drink ingredients. so I've been making these French 75's ever since with no regrets
Prairie Spirits graciously sent me home with a bottle of their gin, handcrafted with a herbal blend of coriander, angelica, lemon, cassia, and juniper. The drink I am sharing today is pretty high on my list of grown-up drinks. It's a 'signature cocktail' from the historic '21' Club in Manhattan, a classy spot, which on a side note, was originally a speakeasy during Prohibition named Jack and Charlie's.
This post is long overdue, what with all of my talk about relaxing in Mexico. Margaritas by the pool with guacamole and chips, frozen bananas in chocolate, fish tacos - where are my manners!? I can't believe it has taken me this long to write about lime margaritas on the rocks.
I love mulled wine this time of year. It feels like the grown-up version of hot chocolate, although I've seen some pretty good looking baileys hot chocolate recipes on Pinterest. There's something so soothing about a simmering pot of mulled wine on the stove, the smell of cinnamon and cloves - it warms my heart.
Last month, I went on a 'ima buy all the fancy booze things online and make me a proper bar for the holidays' spree, and in my search, I found this Jack Rudy Cocktail Co. 17fl oz hand crafted in the South, bottle of the best dang tonic I have ever tasted. People, if you like gin and tonic, you need to order a bottle pronto, because it is a game changer.
