My friend Erica made a trip to Charleston and returned with a beautiful bottle of Angel rye whisky which I received as a gift from her. Thanks Erica for this wonderful gift. I’m still slowly but surely making my way through the bottle ☺ I decided to use this rye whisky to prepare our southern cocktail of the month – Rye Whisky Sour.

The most popular among Spanish cocktails is obviously the Sangria. Traditionally made with red wine and chopped fruit, this alcoholic punch has gone through various experiments with red wine, orange juice, brandy etc. However, not a lot of people have heard of Zurracapote. This drink is similar to sangria in many ways and typical to the La Rioja and nearby areas of Spain. This drink can be had warm or chilled which is perfect for year round drinking!! We had some friends over to watch the final episode of season 7 of Game of Thrones and a large carafe of chilled Zurracapote was gone in minutes!
Kahwah infused rum cocktail (4 servings)
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
The first time I drank Kahwah was when I was on vacation in the beautiful Leh Ladakh in India. Kahwah originates in Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Kashmir region and is a warm breakfast beverage.
A friend of ours was visiting from Berlin and he gifted us Bisongrass Vodka. I came up with this recipe on a hot New York afternoon. I yearned for a break from the heat and humidity that New York summers are known for. I promise that this fresh summery cocktail drink recipe will energize you!
So it’s Sunday & time for brunch! Chloe’s parents gifted us a bottle of Dom Perignon the last time they visited which was in August 2016, so we have had this bottle forever. A mimosa would have been nice with brunch but I decided to change it up a little with the fresh pomegranate we had in stock and go for a Pomegranate Bellini. Quick & easy to make on a lazy Sunday afternoon. So here goes….

The other day when Chloe & I got out to head for yoga it was chilly outside and Chloe in passing mentioned how she was missing “Vin Chaud” (Hot mulled wine). It was her regular go to drink on similar days when she lived in Paris. I thought it would be a good idea to try this recipe, perfect for sipping on a cloudy Spring day.
