Have you tried golden milk yet? You may have also heard it referred to as turmeric tea.What about making your own?
We admit, this is one of those foods that seems to be trendy for the moment. BUT, after reading yet another article about it last January, we had to give it a try last year. That one cup 12 months ago turned into a peaceful and healthy ritual that’s lasted a full year. Today we wanted to share this drink with you.
Turmeric is a plant in the ginger family. As a spice, the roots of the plant are used either fresh or dried and powdered.

There aren’t many August Afternoons left. Use them wisely.
Last week we had a pile of ripe Colorado peaches sitting on the counter. With that as my inspiration, I wanted to come up with a cocktail highlighting the ripe fruit and evoking the pleasure of a late summer afternoon. I think you’ll agree that this is it. <3
The creaminess for this cocktail comes from the addition of an egg white. You can read more about my love affair with egg white cocktails along with a bit of information about how to make them in this post.
Normally you would just see a layer of foam over the cocktail, but in this case you’ll see any extra bit of layering/separation due to the blended peach fruit. It may look a bit funny, but it’s definitely worth it. You could always serve this some fancy textured tumblers… but maybe those should be reserved for piña coladas?!
Cheers to august afternoons and juicy peaches. <3

If you’re up for a bit of egg on your face in your drink, then I think you’ll love today’s drink. The combination of spicy ginger + tart cranberry + earthy rosemary creates a drink that encapsulates everything I feel as I watch the sun’s low rays move across our hill on a winter day.

I still can’t believe how much I love these cocktails with a creamy foam created by egg whites. While I understand the chemistry behind the egg white + acid + simple syrup mixture, I still can’t get the drink names straight. Continue reading
With the holidays just around the corner, we wanted to share a super simple toddy recipe with an extra kick of cinnamon that’s sure to warm you up!
Today we’re sharing a super simple (and relatively quick) DIY coffee liqueur. For reference, Kahlua is a coffee liqueur. Our recipe is *like* Kahlua, but with the added benefit that you get to completely customize your formula, from the coffee flavor to the sweetness level.
Feeling a bit thirsty? We have just the thing to take the edge off of your Thursday afternoon Sunday brunch. The Espresso Martini.
Admittedly, I had never heard of this delicious concoction until watching the latest season of Great British Bakeoff. When the lovely Kate mentioned this drink, I was all ears.
