Pineapple Simple Syrup
Pineapple Simple Syrup is a delicious way to enhance a variety of dessert and drink recipes. This 2 ingredient recipe is ridiculously simple and can be made in about 15 minutes. Fresh pineapple elevates the flavor of plain simple syrup. With its lovely tropical flavor, this unique simple syrup recipe is delightful in mocktails, cocktails like my Fresh Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita (recipe coming soon), and my Fresh Pineapple Sorbet recipe!
Quick Hot Butterscotch
My Quick Hot Butterscotch is a delicious alternative to hot cocoa. This easy 5 ingredient recipe is made with milk, a touch of half & half to add some richness, butterscotch morsels, cinnamon, and vanilla. Top with toasted marshmallows for an extra special finish to this cozy drink. A warming drink for cold winter months, this beverage can also be made non-dairy.
Passion Tea Cocktail
This is a well balanced apéritif that has lovely floral and fruity notes without being too sweet. Don’t be fooled, this is a gin cocktail. Our Passion Tea Cocktail can be served on the rocks or as a martini. It can also be made ahead and is great for entertaining.
The Launch Cocktail
The Launch is a lovely, refreshing champagne cocktail. Adapted from the French 75, this cocktail is light and very drinkable. It's sure to lift your spirits at the start of a celebratory evening.
