Just take two rocks glasses… Add ice, a shot or two of rum, fill with coconut water, and you’re done. You have one delicious cocktail in an instant. This bottled coconut water has plenty of sweetness. There’s no need to add more. Coconut Rum Cocktail makes2 […]
Feeling incredibly decadent, we were prepared for the day-after this year. We made a quick stop at Alon’s bakery on our way home from a day of holiday shopping. And, this post-shopping bakery stop is bound to be a new tradition. The resulting turkey sandwiches were incredibly rich and delicious. […]
