This week we have news of new liquors which may appeal to some of you, upcoming cocktail events, and some delicious food recipes to share.
New Sips:
- Southern Comfort Bold Black Cherry - Following up on? Southern Comfort Lime and Fiery Pepper, the iconic spirit is releasing this new black cherry flavor this month. It reportedly mixes great with cola. A technical glitch has prevented me from trying it yet, but I will pass along my thoughts as soon as I can.
- Pucker Lemonade Lust and Raspberry Rave Vodkas - If you are one who is inclined to drink Pucker or flavored vodkas then these two new vodkas may be on your summer wishlist.
Do This:
- Craft Cocktails Texas - Following up on the San Antonio Cocktail Conference, Dallas will host a new cocktail event June 14-17. It will be the usual style of events for conferences: seminars, tastings, competitions, parties, etc. Cocktail Enthusiast is giving away 2 tickets.
- Aspen Food & Wine Classic - This classic event that brings together the best of the best in food? and drink (there are cocktail events too) is taking place next weekend (June 15-17). Word is that the cocktails this year are nothing short of stunning as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of the event.
- Tales of the Cocktail - Do not forget that Tales is coming up July 25-29 in New Orleans. They are celebrating the 10th year of the cocktail event that started all others.
Three-Year-Old Served Vodka on Hawaiian Dinner Cruise - Another mistake made and another child is served alcohol. The mother's account of this is chilling because the boy was beginning to act drunk because his orange juice had vodka. Please, pay attention!
Macallan Whisky Adorns Bottles with Annie Leibovitz Photos - Does a bottle of Scotch with an image by a famous photographer warrant a $2,750 price tag? Not in my book and I am a long standing fan of both. However, if you are so inclined, you may want to check out The Macallan Masters of Photography limited edition bottles.
Eat This:
On a side note this week, I have come across some new fabulous food recipes that use liquor. Also, check out my collection of Cooking with Spirits recipes for more great summer feast ideas.
- Tequila Adds Sweet, Spiky Touch to Cooking - A favorite here is the Tequila Lime Tart, though that flank steak is pretty tempting as well.
- Whiskey-Mustard Meatballs - This recipe does not specify which style of whisky to use, but rye and bourbon are always great for cooking (Lance Mayhew's Oregon BBQ Whiskey Burger is a fine example).
- Banana-Rum Trifle - I think the name speaks for itself...
