A Bloody Mary (or Caesar if your Canadian) is the ultimate brunch cocktail – along with Eggs Benedict it’s the perfect addition to any Sunday morning.
Welcome Spring with the Americano Cocktail
In Italy in the mid-1800s, a simple cocktail called the Milano-Torino became popular, consisting of just Campari (a popular Italian bitter liqueur), sweet vermouth and club soda. During Prohibition in the U.S., this tall drink became more and more popular with American tourists, giving it the name it’s known by today: the Americano.
American Star Ghost Chili Vodka
Oops. Depending on the part of the country that you’re from, you may have already noticed a regional spelling disambiguation in the name of this product. While it’s rarely spelled out (pun intended), and most folks have likely never every considered that chili and chile are two different things. Here in New Mexico, and you can see the rule at play here at the Burn! Blog, if you look hard enough.
Football, Beer, and Grilling
Beer is a versatile ingredient that can add a unique flavor to grilled foods.
Hot Toddy
As Christmas arrives and the weather gets cooler for most of us, chilly mixed drinks are much less desirable. Over at Simple Cocktails, I rarely make warm drinks, but with the weather peaking in the 40’s in Albuquerque, it’s time to warm up.
Fire and Ice Hot Cocoa
Because of all the hot and spicy liquor I taste here at the Burn! Blog, I often keep a mental note of cocktail recipes I can try in the future with these flavors. Other times, a liquor arrives at my home bar and I know exactly what do mix it with.
This month, I have one of each, combined with a traditional holiday drink, though at odds with each other in their flavors. I’m calling them Fire and Ice, based on my wife’s description of these cocoas flavors.
Simple Mulled Wine
Last month, I introduced you to a warm drink for fall, and this month, we’re almost in to winter full swing, so it’s time for a very traditional winter punch: Mulled Wine. You’ll find Mulled Wine to be another fun stove-top drink, and guests at your holiday parties can serve themselves easily.
