Beverages
Refreshing beverages (hot and cold) and a few cocktails
Cranberry Old-Fashioned Cocktail
BeveragesA traditional old-fashioned cocktail with a hint of cranberry. Recipe makes one cocktail, but you’ll have enough cranberry infused bourbon for three cocktails, and several bourbon infused cranberries for salads and a spiked snack.
Spiced Chocolate Atole
Beverages, Breakfast, Red ChileThis chocolate atole recipe (aka champurrado) uses chocolate almond milk, ginger, red chile powder, and other spices. It’s lighter than most atole recipes and makes a heart warming winter beverage.
Conversation With a Cheesemonger
Beverages, Small Business Friends, SnacksLearn about different types of cheese and cheese pairings from a real cheesemonger. Just like a sommelier helps you pair a wine with your meal, a cheesemonger helps pair cheese with spirits and cheese with foods.
Hibiscus Simple Syrup, Soda and Tea
Beverages, Condiments & SpicesDried hibiscus flowers are used to make a variety of beverages from hot tea to chilled Agua de jamaica (“ha-ma-ike-ah”), sparkling drinks to cocktails. And they have some health benefits as well.
Spice it up with Fiery Chocolate Shots
Beverages, Small Business FriendsThese Fiery Chocolate Shots are made with chocolate, milk and cream, a bit of ginger, chile powder, and Baileys Irish Cream. Best when sipped. A lovely after dinner delight for date night.
Cranberry Rooibos Chai
BeveragesRooibos chai leaves brewed in heated cranberry juice for a comforting, tangy sweet delight. Make a cup, grab a book and enjoy a cold winter’s day. In warmer weather, pour it over ice for a cooling refresher.
Atole – My Cold Weather Smoothie
Beverages, Breakfast, Small Business FriendsIn New Mexico atole (uh-TOL-ay) refers to toasted blue corn flour uses to make a beverage of the same name. The atole is cooked with water and milk into a thick beverage or an even thicker porridge and then sweetened to taste. I like to add pureed fruit, a scoop of jam, and/or some select spices. Here are 3 of my favorites.
An Old Raspberry Vinegar and Sparkling Raspberry Soda
Beverages, Condiments & Spices, Fruit - Sweet & SavoryA remake of a raspberry vinegar recipe from 1900. Pour the vinegar over ice cream, use in salad dressings or make a refreshing, cold raspberry soda.
Watermelon Coolers
Beverages, Fruit - Sweet & SavoryThe perfect cooler for a hot summer’s day. It’s watermelon in a glass. To give it a little kick add a touch of vodka, but be aware that these go down very easily.
