This chocolate chip frappuccino (kind of a starbucks copycat), is a rich and creamy blend of chocolate chips, whole milk, and chocolate syrup, and ice. It is a frosty, indulgent treat. Topped with whipped cream and an extra drizzle of chocolate, it’s the perfect pick-me-up for any chocolate lover. We had these after dinner lastContinueContinue reading “Chocolate Chip Frappuccino”

Sichuan Sour Cocktail
I was really excited about this Sichuan Sour cocktail recipe when I saw it. We love Sichuan peppercorns. One of the dishes I make that my family most asks for is this Crispy Chili Chicken, which is full of Sichuan pepper. I wasn’t sure how this would work in a cocktail, but knew I wantedContinueContinue reading “Sichuan Sour Cocktail”
Coconut Milk Punch Cocktail
Ever since I saw this coconut milk punch cocktail recipe, I have really been wanting to make it. I have never had or heard of a cocktail with clarified coconut milk in it. All that really means is that you strain the solids out of the coconut milk. This results in a clearer drink, butContinueContinue reading “Coconut Milk Punch Cocktail”
Hemingway Daiquiri (Blended or on the Rocks)
I love anything books and reading so this drink caught my eye. I had to research the name and according to legend, Hemingway once tried a daiquiri and said, “I like it, but without sugar and double the rum.” The bartenders eventually created a version tailored to his taste, which included white rum, lime juice,ContinueContinue reading “Hemingway Daiquiri (Blended or on the Rocks)”

I like a strong drink, and this one is definitely strong. You can add a orange twist for servingContinueContinue reading “Silent Night Cocktail”
Sparkling Lychee Yuzu Lemonade (and Cocktail Version)
This drink is another recipe we had over the holidays that was a big hit. Yuzu and lychee are two of my favorite fruit flavors and this drink combines them into a delicious sparkling lemonade or a sparkling cocktail. If you haven’t had yuzu or lychee before, yuzu is citrus fruit with a tart, strong,ContinueContinue reading “Sparkling Lychee Yuzu Lemonade (and Cocktail Version)”
Festive Holiday Punch
I made this festive holiday punch for Thanksgiving, but it would make a great holiday party drink since you can make a big punch bowl full and people can serve themselves. This can be made with or without alcohol. I made it without and then those of us who wanted a cocktail added bourbon toContinueContinue reading “Festive Holiday Punch”
Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade
I made this sparkling blueberry lemonade for the 4th yesterday and it was really easy and delicious. I loved that it was tart and not overly sweet and the sparkling water gave it a nice twist. This recipe starts with some blueberry simple syrup, made by mixing blueberries (fresh or frozen), sugar and water withContinueContinue reading “Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade”
