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.

Fluff Cakes

The giant souffle pancakes that you can find in Japan… they look so good don’t they? These are a version of that. I love fluffy food, and these are the definition of fluffy.

The pancakes themselves, are not dense, but rather very light as they are mostly meringue. While my pomegranate chocolate chip pancakes are very heavy, these ones you can keep eating forever.

Now, mine look small because I only filled my molds 1/4 of the way. But if you fill them 1/2-3/4 of the way, they will be much bigger because they will rise in the mold ( i was being a little lazy).

Oh, please make these. They’re so delicious.

National Parfait Day!

It’s National Parfait Day and we’re making a whole bunch of parfaits. Well, by a whole bunch, I mean two. Parfaits can come in a variety of different flavors and styles.

In my house, yogurt is a staple. We eat Greek yogurt most often, and generally with fruit mix-ins (although I really like the candy mix-ins, or pretzels). And while the yogurt we eat is generally for breakfast, I decided to make one for breakfast and one for dessert. Instead of giving you long recipes, I’ll just explain them to you.

The first parfait I made was my Pomegranate Breakfast Parfait.

This parfait is more towards what people imagine to be “classic”. Cinnamon spiced greek yogurt functions as the base, with pomegranate seeds and pistachio seeds as the other layers. For some extra sweetness, add a drizzle of honey over every yogurt layer. Top with berries and enjoy!

The second parfait I made was a dessert parfait. I have this thing for s’mores. I really really really like s’mores. So I made it into a parfait.

So here is my S’mores Dessert Parfait.

For the base and top layer, crush a few graham crackers. I use the classic honey flavored ones. In a double boiler, melt some dark chocolate. Once fully melted, I mixed it into some plain greek yogurt, thus making a really rich (very tasty) dark chocolate greek yogurt. I recommend using marshmallow fluff for the marshmallow layer. If you have a butane torch, gently caramelize the top layer of marshmallow and then top with a graham cracker and chocolate square.

Delicious. Try these out.
