Fiery Old-Fashions
For Thanksgiving this year, I thought I would incorporate this tasty little number. Never one to follow the trends – I’m opting away from the creamed pumpkin and apple cider based drinks. I say bring on the Whisky! This lovely twist on an old Fashion is light and refreshing with a delightful burst of cinnamon at the end. The first one makes the next two seem like a great idea – so just make sure you help Grandma to the dining room table when the turkey is served!
- 1 shot Fireball Whisky
- 1 shot bourbon
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp orange juice
- 4 dashes of bitters (we used orange bitters)
Shake and strain into an old fashion glass and garnish with orange peel.
I love when the weather starts to turn, and you feel that cool crisp snap in the air. When the leaves are just starting to turn. That’s when I love to pop open a Southern Tier Pumking! It’s a great way to “welcome” the fall season. The weather is warm enough to enjoy cold beer, but cool enough that you want a little flavor oomph to invoke a little warmth. Relax and enjoy one now, while the season is just starting: because it’s only a matter of time before it’s good bye Pumking and hello coffee stouts!
Yum – two things that cool us off in the summer, together, make the perfect summer sipper! For years we’ve raved about the quality and taste of Crop Organic Vodka – but you really need to taste it for yourself. Try Crop Cucumber for the summer and the possibilities are endless…over ice with tonic water, into your favorite Bloody Mary, or mixed into a refreshing Crop Cucumber and lemonade. (Recipe below)
Jack’s Abby Hoponious Union: This lager harmoniously combines lager yeast fermentation and west coast IPA hops. Its India style Pale Lager is like a traditional IPA but with a twist – it’s fermented cold and aged for extended periods. A blend of classic American hops creates a huge tropical fruit and citrusy hop aroma. A dry finish accentuates the pleasant bitterness and hop profile. Hoponious Union uses locally grown dehulled spelt from MA.
Don’t be the last to hear about it! SpikedSeltzer is on fire! We can’t keep it in the store. I would love to tell you it’s light, fruity and refreshing; but honestly it’s so much more than that. It’s almost a disservice to describe it so simply, so here’s a little more from the makers themselves:
As many of you know, one of the most iconic American events is happening this weekend. That’s right, the 142 annual Kentucky Derby. This magnificent event deemed “the best two minutes in sports” has run without interruption since 1875. Steeped in wonderful traditions, this event oozes charm and sophistication. Even though most of us will never attend one of these events in person– there’s no reason we can’t play along as we watch the race from home. So don your favorite hat and fix yourself a delightful Mint Julep.
What was once old is new again! And that goes for the French 75 cocktail (or as the French call it a Soixante Quinze). The drink originated in Paris during World War I, and was said to “have such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm field gun!”
Mark your calendars for our biggest tastings of the year. It couldn’t come at a better time then just before Thanksgiving and Christmas-what better time to stock up. Sample over 45 wines, a dozen craft beers and Ciders at this fabulous event. B.Food Bakery will be providing some savory treats and baked goods to snack on. We look forward to sharing our new products before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
