Beretta's Pamplemousse
We're always a bit wary of elderflower liqueur, but it doesn't take over in this supremely balanced and fresh-tasting gin cocktail, a signature brunch drink at Beretta in San Francisco.
Eeyore's Requiem
Eeyore's Requiem, invented by Toby Maloney of Chicago's Violet Hour, starts with Campari, then adds a dose of barrel-aged Fernet Branca, which is made with gentian, chamomile, bitter orange, myrrh, and saffron, among other things.
Buena Vista Fizz
You wouldn't think that citrus and coffee would go together, but we absolutely love this cocktail from Tradition in San Francisco, which brings together Jameson and chicory-infused rye whiskey.
Contessa
[Photo: Jessica Leibowitz] Mojitos and mint juleps are wonderful warm-weather drinks. But sometimes a late-spring or early-summer day requires a drink with a bit of an edge, a spark bright enough to match the waning light of a late sunset....
The Chocolate Velvet
This spin on a traditional Black Velvet brings out the chocolaty side of stout. For a festive touch, add a hint of orange bitters and rub the rim of the glass with orange peel. If you're a fan of those foil-wrapped chocolate oranges, you may have just found your new favorite holiday drink.
Chrysanthemum
This classic drink, published in Hugo Ensslin's 1916 book, Recipes for Mixed Drinks has no gin or whiskey. Instead, dry vermouth is the main ingredient.
Dandelion
This variation on the classic Chrysanthemum cocktail uses a Yellow and Green Chartreuse combination in place of Benedictine, and subs in bitter Malört in place of the more traditional absinthe.
The Vesper Cocktail
Drink like James Bond.
Plume
This light, refreshing twist on the Quill takes its cues from the Americano and Negroni Spagliato. A little absinthe is excellent with bubbly.
The Gypsy
Unlike many vodka-based drinks that simply use the spirit to lend alcoholic oomph to a mixture of soda and fruit juice, the Gypsy uses vodka's neutral character to soften the powerful flavor of the drink's other main ingredient, the French herbal liqueur Benedictine.
A floral and sweet variation of the classic Champagne cocktail from Josh Berner of Ripple in Washington, DC.
Serve With
Blackberry-Sage Lemonade
You usually think of sage as a savory herb, but its camphorous, slightly minty aroma works well in this sweet drink made with blackberries and lemon.
Feast inspired by Chef — Binging With Babish
This week, we're finally tackling the all-out feast prepared by Chef Carl Casper after rage-quitting his creatively-stifling job from the foodie film essential, Chef. Bit too long for a YouTube title. Special thanks to Roy Choi for helping me figure out all these dishes!!
Lavender Syrup
Quickly infused with the fragrance of lavender, this versatile syrup is perfect for cocktails and desserts.
The Grey Stuff & Other Hors d’Oeuvres inspired by Beauty & the Beast — Binging With Babish
The 'grey stuff' from Beauty and the Beast has been falsely advertised as some sort of cookies-n-cream abomination, and it's about time we set the record straight. Yes I know that children at Disney World probably don't want to eat chicken liver mousse. Yes I know that it's taking whimsical licens
Pink Lemonade
This sweet-tart Pink Lemonade gets its pretty pastel color from cranberry juice. Easy to make at home (just 4 ingredients) and great for spring and summer picnics, showers, brunches, and more.
Purple rice (red cabbage rice)
Purple rice is a garlicky, butter rice that owes its vibrant colour to red cabbage! Love this 2-in-1 side that combines starch + lots of veg.
Blueberries + Bourbon
I've taken to smashing a few blueberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker, then adding bourbon, lemon and simple syrup, then giving it a good shake. Once the whole thing has been strained into a glass, I like to lighten it a with a bit of seltzer and a squeeze of lemon peel.
Blueberry Lavender Jam
Lavender transforms ordinary blueberry jam into preserves that are positively romantic. Delicate and floral, it would be perfect with scones, croissants, or crostini with fresh ricotta.
Sour Cherry and Lavender Sorbet
Go slowly with the salt and lime juice, adding just a bit at a time. You may need more or less depending on your cherries, though keep in mind that flavor intensity dials down when frozen. If you want your sorbet to taste like a 10, flavor the base up to 11. If you can't find sour cherries, you can use their sweet counterparts; just up the acidity to keep things tart and refreshing.
Lavender French 75
This festive take on a classic drink tastes like spring—a little floral, a little bright, and a little bubbly—just right, if you ask me.
