Pomegranate New York Sour. This tart and sweet whiskey cocktail features a red wine float and gorgeously pink, pomegranate-spiked base. It’s the perfect cocktail for Valentine’s Day, and while it looks impressive and professional, even a cocktail novice can whip it together. Well, it’s still winter– we’re only halfway through it, in fact– and we’re…
Charred Cherry Whiskey Lemonade
Charred Cherry Whiskey Lemonade. Grilled or sauteed cherries add great flavor (and a little edge) to these sweet and tart whiskey cocktails. Yesterday, while scheduling out my to-do-lists for recipe-making in the next few weeks (which, by the way, is a very ambitious schedule that’s definitely going to result in lots of How Did I…
Jack Daniels Burgers
Jack Daniels Burgers. These juicy, glazed cheeseburgers taste just like the ones at T.G.I. Friday’s. The sweet, sticky glaze (and a few tips) will take your typical backyard burgers to the next level. Like most of the recipes I share here, this one started with an obsession.

I’ve been hearing about your lovely vacations around the country and around the world. (And I’ve been missing my usual partner in culinary creation, Amanda, who is currently in Hungary. Or Austria. Or Prague. …
Boozy Shamrock Shake
These Irish eyes are smiling. Why? Because I now know how to make a Shamrock Shake at home. Cocktail-style.
Sweet & Spicy BBQ Pulled Brisket & Latke Bites
There’s no denying that the season of food is upon us. For the past month or so, it has been impossible to escape conversation about Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve menus. However, I haven’t heard very much—not enough, I say—about Hanukkah in the scheme of this holiday food frenzy. Unlike Thanskgiving, Christmas, and…
