Lavender Lemon Fizz
A mock-tail filled with sweet florals by the team at Vena's Fizz House. We love it as is, or dressed up with gin.
Pineapple Sparkler
Take a trip to the islands with the help of this fizzy, fruity mock-tail by Vena's Fizz House. We love the tart undertones that elevate this juicy drink.
Winter Salad with Fig Balsamic Dressing
In my opinion, salads are only as good as their dressing. Texture falls very close behind, so let's chat there first. Knowing that this is a fig balsamic base, I'm expecting a little sweetness to balance the sourness. To cater to this, I added maple syrup to the dressing and carried that flavor over to the toppings by way of SKORDO Sugar Hut Pepper. What loves Sugar Hut Pepper? Sweet Potatoes. What loves Sweet Potatoes? Brussel Sprouts. I played this game around the produce aisle until I felt ready to salad because I am not a salad girl and need to carry some excitement through the whole experience haha. However, this is a very adaptable salad and could absolutely be a quick way to elevate some leftovers.
Greek Lemon Turmeric Lentil Soup
Having the time to chop the veggies and toast the spices and taste the soup change + develop as you go is a luxury that makes cooking dinner feel like a date with yourself, and there's nothing more wholesome than that. This soup, like any good soup, feels like a warm hug.
Cinnamon + Vanilla Maple Espresso Martini with Toasted Marshmallow
Espresso Martinis are one of those special drinks we often get out at a restaurant, but why not make them at home! They're easy to make and perfect for a New Year's Eve celebration.
Savory Maple Granola
Created as part of our Edible Gift Guide- this granola is a fun way to challenge the suggestions on the jars, and enjoy your favorite blends any time of day. I've said it 600 times + I'll continue to find joy in saying it--there is NO salmon in the SKORDO Maple Salmon Rub.
Peppermint Mocha Syrup for Coffee + More!
I have never been one who relies on coffee to get through my day, but I reach for it when I need a pick-me-up or for seasonal flavors that I just can't resist. I make my best efforts to support local in anyway I can, but Starbucks has mastered the Peppermint Mocha drinks so well I have a hard time saying no. For the sake of money-saving + gift-giving, I wanted to try my hand at a replica syrup for at home coffee making (or hot cocoa seasoning!). This looks dreamy bottled up in our apothecary bottles, and the pourer is extra convenient for mess free use.
Lemon Verbena Hot Toddy
Lemon Verbena is one of my favorite herbs but I see it more often in candles + soaps than I do food. When Runamok launched Lemon Verbena Honey, I couldn't wait to get a taste. It brings gentle lemon-y flavor without introducing any acid or sour notes. Sore throat or cold day, this drink is the cure.
Maple Ginger Mule
We are always so excited to see what Runamok is coming up with. First the delicious infused maple syrups, then the Maple Old Fashioned Syrup, and now a Maple Ginger Mule?! This is a delicious addition to your holiday parties, a quick pour + top with club soda makes you a balanced cocktail, perfect for cheers-ing all season long.
Spiked Mulled Cider
Our Mulling Party! recipe kit is delicious anytime of year, but incredibly popular in these colder months. We truly can't keep it on the shelves, and love playing with new ways to use it. Last year we mulled wine, and used the remainder to poach pears for a galette. This time, we're simply mulling cider + adding bourbon for the grownups. I'd highly recommend welcoming your guests with a warm mug of this over the holidays!
