Christmas time is heeeeere. Bringing lots of boozy cheer. — All I need now is a spotlight, a piano, and a nice holiday cocktail to start the show.

Julep Week: Meyer Lemon Julep
After having a little bit of a spicy sip for Cinco de Derby yesterday with our Mango Jalapeño Julep, I thought it would be good to take thing a bit over to the tart side of life. We’re taking beautifully sweet and citrus Meyer lemons, and squeezing them into a delightfully fresh julep for Kentucky Oaks…
Blackberry Lavender Cream Paletas
Summer time, and the livin’ is eaaaasyyyy. If there is anything that says “Hey, Summer! Let’s do this!“, it’s a popsicle. I’ve come a long way with my pop-making repertoire since pulling those long plastic sticks from the freezer (or drinking them before they were frozen, if we’re honest with each other) as a kid….
Limoncello Candied Lemon Zest

That’s right kids. It’s Derby time! As a Kentucky boy, I remember Derby being one of the most anticipated events of the…
Lemon Drop Candies
“They’re a kind of Muggle sweet I’m rather fond of.” – Albus Dumbledore. When life gives you lemons (I’m talking to you, Yolanda)… you mix them with vodka, or make candy out of them! For this post, we will focus on the candy. We’ll save the drinks for another day, when some most of us have…
