Frida's Fire, A spicy rum cocktail
Frida’s Fire, A spicy rum cocktail
Juicy, spicy, devilishly different
I love pink grapefruit juice. It’s bright acidity and fresh fruit flavor lends itself to many different liquors and aperitifs such as Aperol, a favorite ingredient in many cocktails including the chili infused version used in one of my favorite drinks, Satan’s Circus. Pink grapefruit also is a delicious wing-man in the Paloma, another of my favorite cocktails.

With Saint Patrick’s day soon approaching it’s time to start celebrating with some of the small batch Irish Whiskeys now available in the states. Not so long ago the selection of Irish Whiskey was limited to a few large brands owned by large conglomerates, with one or two specialties available in limited quantities. In the last 5 to 10 years Ireland’s craft…

Cocktails, Cheese and Chocolate for Your Valentine
Cocktails, cheese and chocolate
Cheese and chocolate are wonderful pairings with more than just wine. The pure fruit flavors in some craft cocktails can lend themselves to pair perfectly with salty cheeses and sweets.
I love the combination of fresh chevre and white chocolate, and with the addition of a berry jam it is a pairing that has been a favorite with guests on more than one occasion. This…

He founded Gebrüder Pfund dairy in Dresden in 1880, and over time it evolved to include the sale of condensed milk, milk soap, butter and cheese at their wildly popular brick and mortar shop on Bautzner…

Pom Pomme Cider, a unique alternative for rose drinkers
Last winter I had the privilege to write the forward for the Hudson Valley Cider Guide. From dry to sweet I sampled literally hundreds of different types, but my favorite by far is Descendant Cider’s Pom Pomme, infused with rose hips and pomegranate juice.
With a crisp dry finish and just a hint of a floral note this delicious tipple is fabulous as an aperitif and a stellar choice with fresh…

Tunworth, a guilty English pleasure
Tunworth, a guilty English pleasure
It’s a good idea to cheat on your regular cheesemonger from time to time. Some cheeses are imported in very small quantities and may just be available at one or two small specialty shops, or not in your usual haunt. This is how I discovered one of my new favorite cheeses, Tunworth, an English guilty pleasure! Available at Brooklyn Larder in Park Slope (a dangerous place for any gourmet),…

Boozy Brooklyn Egg Cream; A childhood favorite for adults only
Sammy’s Romanian table side egg cream!
I love egg creams! Whether crafted from vanilla (Manhattan style) or made with Fox’s U-Bet chocolate syrup (Brooklyn style) they are a favorite treat with a long history. Traditionally they contain no egg or cream, just the perfect ratio of frosty cold milk, bubbly seltzer and sweet syrup. The inventor of this NY iconic beverage remains a mystery but…
