Morning Orgasm Cocktail: Cookbook Review Balaboosta

Zoe’s Take:
8/10

This was a really good drink (and I don’t drink bubbly stuff). Obviously, I would never choose this as a drink, because bubbles hurt my nose. But the taste was very good. Pomegranate juice, sugar, rose water and champagne? Those are the ingredients for a very tasty drink. AND, if you can’t or don’t like alcohol, you could always substitute with seltzer or something to make a non-alcoholic version that would still taste amazing!

Eric’s Take:
7/10

Reading the recipe for this drink I was really excited. It seemed like an expertly crafted beverage. The pomegranate juice is deliciously tart. The rose water adds a subtle floral taste that is unmistakable. It rounds out the pomegranate, and with the sugar cube, the sweetness completes the picture. The sugar also acts as a disruptor causing the champagne to continue to bubble. However, the campaign overpowered the drink and I found it lacking that wow-factor I was hoping for. I’m not sure if it would have tasted better with a different brand or not. The rose was also a bit too subtle. It was there, but hard to find. I think that I may play around with the amounts for this in the future, because it has potential to reach a 10! I also may replace the champagne with soda water, lemon juice and vodka. That combination would likely work just as well.

Set the New Year on Fire!

It’s still the beginning of the year, and with freezing temperatures, these is the perfect drink to warm you up! This drink is similar to a Negroni, because of the bitterness of the Campari. The Scotch Whisky gives this a nice earthy flavor, with some tartness from the lime.

Sofra’s Chai Tea: Cookbook Review

Zoe’s Take:
8/10

I am not a tea drinker. I never have been, and no one has ever managed to convince me to like it. I’ve tried a ton of different types, made in different ways, and never liked any of them. But this tea, for some reason, is So Damn Good. The chai syrup is silky and thick with amazing flavor and mixed with the black tea and milk, it was so good. I wasn’t as big of a fan of the hot chai, but the iced chai is definitely my jam.

Eric’s Take:

8/10

I found this recipe delightful. I made a batch on a cold and snowy afternoon, and it hit the spot. I love tea, so I was already excited before trying it. The process was a bit long, because the Chai Syrup took some time to reduce and cool. The overall flavor was amazing. The different spices complimented each other, creating depth. I have two reasons for giving 8 points. The first point was lost because one ingredient, cardamom pods, is a bit difficult to come by. The second point was lost because I felt the syrup was too sweet. If I were to make this again, I would half the sugar. At the end of the day this was a great recipe, and I enjoyed preparing and drinking it!

National Bloody Mary Day!

It’s national Bloody Mary day, or as I like to call it…national hangover day! We whipped together an “almost” classic recipe and garnished with some fun ingredients. There’s celery stalks, bacon, shrimp, pickles, vienna sausage, and a pepperoncini. We also hollowed out a sausage stick with a skewer for a straw.

Try our Bloody Mary HERE! And tell us how you like to garnish yours below!

Holiday Sangria

Don’t know what to bring to your next holiday party? Try this Holiday Sangria! It’s sure to be a crowd pleaser. This drink is made with white wine. I chose a chardonnay as it has light citrus and oaky flavors. It also has a more velvety texture which will hold up to the fruit. Brandy is added to the sangria to round it out and give it some more body. Instead of a sweetener I used white cranberry juice. The orange and lime highlight the citrus and balance the spices. Apple and cranberry cuts the sweetness with a subtle sourness, and also adds some holiday flair.

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

When I was young, we used to visit our family friends in Concord, Massachusetts. It would snow and be freezing and Patricia would take out the snowman mugs and the container of chocolate powder and tiny marshmallows, and make us delicious hot chocolate.

I can also flash back to the many ski trips I had out west. The kids would be in ski school while the adults combed the mountain. On our many breaks out of the cold, there was always hot chocolate. I can just smell it by recalling the memory. But that hot chocolate is made from powder. This hot chocolate, it isn’t.

Smooth dark chocolate, whole milk and maybe a touch of cream… maybe some non-traditional spices? Topped with whipped cream and candy cane crumble? Perfect for freezing cold night.

#2: Bailey’s Milkshake

Zoe’s Take

4/10 original recipe
8/10 modified recipe

I dislike Guinness. I think that it just tastes really bad. So when I saw it was in this milkshake, I was not happy about it. So I made it. All I could taste was the Guinness in the original milkshake. I wouldn’t drink it past the first two sips. I wasn’t the only one who didn’t like it either. So I remade it. I switched the Guinness with milk (2%) and added an extra 2 TBSP of dark chocolate syrup. That simple switch made all the difference. Suddenly, something that tasted so bad was so good. With the milk, it felt like a real milkshake and actually tasted like something I could drink more regularly. So, if you like Guinness or Irish dry stouts, this recipe is for you. If you’re just about the awesome milkshake life, instead try my modified recipe.

Eric’s Take

6/10

I too am not a fan of Guinness. I didn’t mind the original recipe’s flavor though. The biggest problem for me was the proportions and instructions for this recipe. They seemed to phone it in on this one. The amount of liquid from the Guinness and Baileys made the drink too thin. I added a bit extra vanilla ice-cream to mine. In addition, instructions call for simply blending the ingredients. It seemed like there was a step missing. I also found it difficult to drizzle the chocolate syrup on the drink. That might have been the brand I was using though. I overall liked this recipe, I just think the instructions were laking.

Halloween Shots

As Halloween approaches, plans are set in motion. Kids find their costumes and find their bags for holding candy. Their parents discuss who will take them trick or treating and who will stay home and hand out candy. On the other end, young adults and adults without children are planning their own festivities. Parties, clubbing, massive costumed events, they’re all out there waiting to be attended by the masses.

On the 31st, while the kiddies are out collecting all the candy they can eat, the party people out there need something different and new and themed to drink. That’s where we come in.

Whether you need a pre-game drink or a signature shot for your own party or event, we have it all covered for you. For your guests who don’t drink, we made these shots so that they can be made virgin and still taste delicious. You’ll find 4 Halloween and Horror themed shots below.

A spooky Bleeding Margarita that will tingle your taste buds.

The Classic Candy Corn Jello Shot that will have you loving the candy’s alcoholic cousin.

Take a sip of the Fairy Godmother, a very sweet drink that will have you wishing for more.

And the Black Magic Shot which will bring out your inner witch or sorcerer.

I just want to state that these drinks are for those 21 and over in the United States and whatever the drinking age is in your country for everywhere else.

Autumn Toddy

As the weather begins to cool off, (since it’s autumn in New England) we begin to look for food and drink that will warm us and make us feel like Fall has finally arrived. With pumpkin spice lattes being all the rage, we wanted to bring you something a little different for National Coffee Day, as well as a little more refined.

Omit the bourbon or whiskey if you’re not allowed to drink yet, but the effect is still the same. A warm calming drink that evokes the flavors of fall many of us look for.

Fine the recipe here.
