  • Zoe’s Take on the Hot Nantucket Night

    Zoe’s Take on the Hot Nantucket Night

    The Hot Nantucket Night is generally made with Don Julio Blanco Tequila, agave nectar and lime juice.

    However, I’ve never really been a fan of using agave nectar for anything that I could be using honey for. It has the same amount of calories as honey and the neutral flavor doesn’t really appeal to me.

    If you’re a vegan, just know that if we don’t take the honey from bees, they end up in trouble because the hive becomes honey bound and the bees swarm and the hive ends up getting split because there aren’t enough empty combs to lay eggs for the new queen…

    To make a much better drink, I created a cranberry simple syrup. As an addition to the tequila, the simple syrup gives the drink a smooth and more refined taste.

  • Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes with Tequila Buttercream

    Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes with Tequila Buttercream

    I have been asked for this recipe multiple times since I created it. Earlier this year, I competed in an online recipe competition in which I had to use the chocolate brand Callebaut to make a recipe for a specific category. I competed in 4 different categories in the competition and in two of those categories I made it to the final round. These cupcakes were one of the two that made it.

    I enjoyed making these cupcakes immensely, and even more so, enjoyed eating them. These cupcakes are not very sweet, and have a little kick of spicy in the cake itself. The buttercream on the other hand, is sweet and very alcoholic. The tequila is not cooked out, so all of the taste and all of the alcohol is still present.

    I love love love these cupcakes, and I definitely want to see them if you make them! Please tag @withzoeanderic and @chefzoe on Instagram, post the picture on our Facebook page, or post in the comments on this post!

  • Halloween Shots

    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.
