Saganaki Martini

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 02:34:21 -0500

My favorite kind of martini is one that I can eat more than drink! This is not one of those quicky drinks to throw together, but rather it is one you plan a bit for a party or dinner. I found this fabulous little drink online while researching the Greek food of Saganaki which is a fried cheese dish that can be served in various ways. I suggest that you paste the word Saganaki into the search above and check out some of the different styles the great Zaar chefs have here. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Prohibition Classic Cocktail

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 02:35:25 -0500

You can add some soda to this if you need to, but this is no bathtub cocktail! During Prohibition you cannot waste your time drinking a lighter drink. Lillet is a blend of rigorously selected wines and fruit liqueurs, aged in oak vats for around 12 months. Lillet Blanc has a golden color with candied orange, honey, pine resin, lime and fresh mint aromas. This is the stuff in the James Bond cocktails like the Vesper. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

New York's Colony was no ordinary speakeasy.

Prohibition Party Punch

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:25:02 -0500

This recipe is from an old cookbook I found. Homemade wine or beer was legal as long as it contained no more than one-half per cent alcohol. From Every Woman's Cook Book by Mrs. Chas. F. Moritz (1926) p. 617. If you can find a bootlegger in your area, I think some rum or whiskey would really perk this up. This recipe makes a LOT! Please keep this in mind when preparing this party punch for your local Speakeasy :) -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Sparkling Cranberry Cocktails

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 02:07:09 -0500

There's something reminiscent of the sunset in this sweet-tart effervescent cocktail. The heavier syrup settles to the bottom as the golden wine bubbles above. Try the cranberry syrup in other drinks where you might normally reach for cranberry juice. Before serving, chill for 1 hour.

Cranberry Cornucopia Sangria

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:06:32 -0500

Adapted from "Peterson's Holiday Helper," by Valerie Peterson (Clarkson Potter, 2008). This is a blend of all the favorite holiday flavors, not really a true sangria. You can use a sparkling cider or grape juice, or even a champagne if you'd like to. Cherries are an excellent addition to this drink as well. This is best left to sit for overnight to let the flavors blend well. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Chocolate Orange Cream Cocktail

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:07:31 -0500

This is a drink that's as pretty as it is a sweet indulgence. In fact, we like to call it dessert in a martini glass. It tastes a bit like those Chocolate Orange Cream candy eggs, but a whole lot better and more grown up. Wanna really make this pretty? Drizzle some chocolate syrup lightly across the finished drink in a zig zag pattern. Oh yummy! -- posted by Jess4Freedom

While taking their virtual tour of the home & on Pg 10 of 20, an ad appeared in the top right corner that said *HOLIDAY COCKTAILS* (10 Recipes for Merry Drinks).
