Valentine's Day Cocktails • Pink + Sweet and Dark + Spicy
If you’re looking for a specialty cocktail for Valentine’s Day, our team has put together two unique cocktails using our own herbs, spices, and peppercorns. Can’t decide whether you’re pro or anti Valentine’s Day this year? We have you covered with two options! A floral, pink and red-hued, citrusy + sweet drink featuring tequila – or a chocolatey, peppery, spicy + dark cocktail with oaky bourbon. Cheers!
Rosemary Citrus Gin + Tonic
Enjoy this summertime favorite with a twist! Our Gin + Tonic features a homemade herby, citrus simple syrup that pairs nicely with both juniper-forward and cucumber-forward gins.
Habanero Sugar Paloma
If you're looking for a refreshing sweet heat cocktail for Cinco de Mayo (or any day of the week) look no further! This citrusy Paloma with a kick is the perfect 5 o'clock beverage on 5/5!
Summer Peach Old Fashioned
We love an Old Fashioned, but it often feels like a cold-weather drink. Enter - peaches. Or really any summer stone fruit. This is so simple and so delicious on a balmy summer day.
We've offered Runamok Cocktail Syrups for a few years now because they do such a good job at creating delicious, all natural flavor infusions. Enjoy the smoked version or regular, depending on your preference. Hello campfire vibes!
Southwest Bloody Mary
Our 'Americas' selection of blends + rubs is incredibly diverse, between barbecues rubs + seafood seasonings with various degrees of latin influence. It can make choosing what to use when an exciting challenge. To highlight the diversity of these blends, I love using them for anything outside the jar suggestions. Our Southwest Seasoning has made flavorful beans, lobster rolls with a kick, and even a delicious take on meatloaf. Today, it's taking a turn at the bar for a Southwestern Bloody Mary. Are you as excited as I am? Tequila or Gin? Celery Seed or Sriracha Salt? After a mostly successful dry January, I played around with a few combos and landed on a favorite. I'd love to hear your tweaks + successes in SKORDO Cooks!
Tea Party!
Between dry January and a frigid winter, I have been reaching towards a mug of tea at least two times a day. While we rarely carry teas in the shops, we do always have our collection of herbs + spices that can be quickly steeped into a flavorful tea. Whether you enjoy these recipes as is, or use them to upgrade a basic black tea, they're certain to warm you up.
