Silver Daisy (Sparkling Rum Cocktail)
The French 75 goes tropical in this tart rum-based rendition from Jesse Cyr of Rob Roy in Seattle. Instead of the classic lemon, this version has lime and a little orange curaçao. The drink is festively fizzy, fruity, and tart, with an underlying vanilla flavor thanks to the rum.

Fizzy Gin and Lillet Punch
We threw a little shindig today to say goodbye to SE Ad Sales Director Erin Adamo. I mixed up this bubbly punch—it's a good brunch or predinner drink: a little tart, a little sweet, and a little more complex than you'd expect.

Scooped: Lavender-Hyssop Ice Cream
Lavender is a surprisingly versatile dessert ingredient with a strong affinity to cream. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of herb, but the creaminess subdues its at-times overwhelming intensity. Hyssop has largely fallen out of Western culinary use, which is a shame given its long history dating back to ancient times. Fortunately it's increasingly common in gardens and at farmers' markets.
