Emeril's Sazerac Cocktail

Wed, 20 May 2009 14:05:23 -0400

From Emeril Lagasse's book "Every Day's a Party"; posted for ZWT 5. From the intro to the recipe: "When the Sazerac was first created, it contained an imported cognac made by a company called Sazerac-Deflorge et Fils of Limoges, France. The mixture changed in the late 1870's, when American rye whiskey was substituted for the brandy." The original recipe is attributed to Antoine Amadie Peychaud, a Creole apothecary. It was originally served in an egg cup, known as a 'coquetier' in French. Some historians think the word 'cocktail' comes from a mispronunciation of the word. This recipe was provided by Marcelle Bienvenu after a newspaper assignment. -- posted by alligirl

Frozen Mixed Berry Margarita

Mon, 25 May 2009 22:27:59 -0400

This is the easiest, most delicious Margarita recipe I have ever made. The ingredients are estimated, because I actually use the juice can to measure to make things easy. You can also substitute raspberries, strawberries, or any other frozen berry instead....our leave the berries out completely for an original flavor. YUMMO! -- posted by Cooks4_6

A light, summery cocktail, Russian by background. A recipe from Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood California (found in Maxim magazine). NOTE: I really liked this one. . .very faint cucumber taste but great fresh cucumber smell. I used 1.5 packets of stevia instead of sugar with great results.

Purple Basil Lemonade

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:21:31 -0400

From Cooking Light Magazine's July 2009 edition: "In this recipe, basil is crushed with sugar to release the oils. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, process the basil, sugar and about 1/4 cup of water in a food processor or blender." I am eager to serve this at my next party. The recipe doesn't indicate this, but I would personally place the strained lemonade into a pitcher and refrigerate until ready to serve. When having a party, it's always best to prepare ahead if possible! -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

Tropical Passion Rum Punch

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:18:39 -0400

This recipe came about one day when we had an interesting juice in the house, a great thirst and a desire for something a little different. This is definitely not for the kids. The name came from the location...we live in Jamaica (Tropical), and the colour...sort of a purple which comes from the pink of the Juice and the blue in the curacao (Purple passion) and the possible outcome.... This is a no fooling around Rum Punch..approach with caution and enjoy. Please note: I used Guava-Pineapple Juice which has a pink colour, but any combination of tropical juices Mango with Pineapple etc. will work. The pineapple seems to be key. I use Appleton's Rum because it is Jamaican and great Rum. -- posted by Donalda

A boozy lavender fruit cup made with vermouth, herbs and fresh strawberries! How good is that! This is another gem of a recipe that I discovered on a recipe card from Wolds Way Lavender Farm in North Yorkshire, England which is just 10 minutes from my parent's cottage. The delicately flavoured drink is the perfect way to unwind after a long, hard day........It is almost better than Pimms, and, as Pimms is my favourite summertime tipple, that is really saying something! Sit back, relax, sip and enjoy! -- posted by French Tart

White Sangria

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:10:34 -0400

Fresh, sweet and fruity - goes well with tapas or as a light cocktail, I even drink it with paella! Slightly different from the traditional one which calls for red wine, but I just can't drink red wine when it's too hot outside, so I tried with white wine and it turned out just as great. Feel free to sub any other type of fruit according to season or taste, and where possible use liqueurs that match. -- posted by AdriMicina

An interesting cocktail that looks like a great one from Barnonedrinks dot com. Original contributer was-- Bartender: Derek ONeill Butler, Prime One Twelve Restaurant, Miami, FL.

A delicious hot-coffee drink in the French style, made with apricot brandy and Poire Willliam eau de vie. This is a variation of a very old French recipe. -- posted by BecR

On a recent liquor store shopping trip I came across another new product. Green Moon Absinthe Superior Anise Flavored Vodka came in a very cool metal tin that held the glass bottle. I am a sucker for cool packaging! It also came with some recipes that I just had to try. This is the one I really liked and wanted to share it with all of my friends. Enjoy! -- posted by mama's kitchen
