That’s what Andrew said, too! The ones we ended up going with are 8oz, and we still ended up topping the drink off.
Tonight’s Adventures in Cocktails with Andrew (and Ginny!) is the Honey Cider Bee, and it is good! It’s another variation on the Bee’s Knees cocktail, and we used the last of the spiced honey syrup from a few weeks back. The recipe we used is below. 🍸🍽️🍴
More bespoke syrup for cocktails! This is a spiced pear syrup, made with sugar, water, white wine, pears, cinnamon stick, lemon peel, and star anise! 🍴🍽️🍸
Holy cow, this was good. We celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving Day today and I made this crustless pumpkin pie (because my kid hates pastry). It’s also gluten free. My only mod was to use a mix of heavy cream and milk because my can of evaporated milk had expired. The recipe I used is below! 🍴🍽️
So good! Future me is happy there will be leftovers for lunch.
Tonight’s Adventures in Cocktails with Andrew is the Celtic Honey Buck! We used rye I bought up in Toronto in the spring, Celtic Honey Liqueur, lime juice, and blood orange ginger beer. Very sippable, and not terribly sweet. And new socks have been started! 🍸🧶
I have been taunting my family with the smell of this stew for the last 4 hours as it was braising in the oven. Beef Stew on Mashed Potatoes. I thought we were going to have rain all day - but so far it hasn’t showed up. My only mod was adding in 5 cloves of garlic. The recipe I used is below. 🍴🍽️
11th Finished Pair of Socks for 2025! Plain Vanilla socks in A Whimsical Wood Serotonin sock yarn in the ‘I’m too broke for this shit’ colorway. Like with beer, sometimes I buy yarn just because I like the name of the colorway. 🧶
What caught me off guard with this recipe was that there is no egg in it - I think the dough would have been softer and rised more like that. I actually think the brown butter cider glaze was the best part of it!
Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls with brown butter cider glaze - yummy, but I have to say I had doubts on this one. The dough didn’t rise much, so I added a 1/3c of heavy cream to pan before baking to moisten them up. Everyone here likes them! The swirls are mesmerizing, aren’t they? The recipe is 👇🍽️🍴
Do it! We’ve made some great cocktails with it.
It’s a doubleheader Adventures in Cocktails with Andrew! This time we have a Cinnamon Girl - a potent mix of reposado tequila, high proof rum, citrus, and honey ginger cinnamon syrup. It has some kick - tastes a bit peppery to me as well. Andrew says it is well-balanced. Recipe we used is below! 🍸🍴🍽️
Store bought is fine 😁 Although, in my search for this drink I saw a recipe for making blood orange limoncello and I was very intrigued.
Tonight’s Adventures in Cocktails with Andrew is yet another variation - a Blood Orange Limoncello Lemon Drop martini! It’s strikingly pretty, seasonal, and yummy. The recipe we used is below. 🍽️🍴🍸
I didn’t use a set recipe this time, but I based it on this one I have made multiple times. I added in chopped carrots and celery, omitted diced tomatoes and went heavier on tomato paste. Also put half of soup in blender to smooth it out. www.servingdumplings.com/recipe/cream...
