The traditional Aperol spritz is an absolutely delicious cocktail. It’s refreshing with a lovely (yet, delicate) tart bite to it. But, Gabe Thompson’s version shines the light directly on the Aperol.

After straining three times, I’m still left with this milky white liqueur. Supposedly, if you repeatedly strain this liqueur it will become clear. I’m using an ultra-fine filter. I don’t even know where to find a finer filter. Hmmm…. I think I’m stuck with this milky white nog. Good thing […]

In Chinese medicine, Chrysanthemum is said to be a “cooling” herb. I can’t speak to the medical benefits, but, I always feel refreshed after a cup. Then, it occurred to me. Chrysanthemum Iced Tea… What a perfect tea for summer! I prefer to keep the sugar to a minimum in […]
With a few minor alterations to the ingredient list, this Sangria makes a nice icy treat for summer. Next time, I’ll throw a few strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries into the molds before adding the liquid. Or, maybe I’ll supreme sections of orange and add them to the mix.
