MAPLE LEAF COCKTAIL RECIPE Maple syrup is underutilized and often looked over because of honey and agave. It also gets placed in autumn drinks, but it can be used for so much more. It's a soft type of sweet that doesn't linger, and can taste different depending on where it came from. Ingredients: 1.5oz bourbon or [...]
The only thing worse than a chocolate chip cookie that's dubbed as "healthy" is one that tastes like it is—using applesauce, protein powder, or Splenda to pass as better-for-you (but it tastes nothing like what your mom used to make, or the ooey-gooey goodness they're selling at your local bakery). In order to avoid that, we've taken a traditional chocolate [...]
This is the easiest pie in the history of baking. Mix, pour, bake, serve, devour. Simple as that. It's so easy, it'll become your go-to for potluck and dinner parties. Tell them you'll bring dessert and show up with a Key lime pie (or two). If you can't find bottled Key lime juice (or fresh Key limes) in [...]
Most apple pies are made with two crusts, one as the base, the other as the top, doubling up on the impact of the refined carbs and cheap fats that make up the pastry. This is both a waste of calories and not nearly as tasty as our recipe. Here, we replace the second crust with a [...]
On February 9, 2012, Jeffrey Morgenthaler—one of the country’s most influential and celebrated bartenders—published an article on his blog with the title “I Make the Best Amaretto Sour in the World.” For context, this is like if Jerry Seinfeld announced that he had figured out the best way to smash a watermelon with a giant [...]
Most banana bread recipes call for twice the amount of butter that we use here, but to keep the loaf moist and rich and tasting intensely of its namesake fruit, we cut the butter and added an extra banana and a bit of our favorite Greek-style yogurt. This is no breakfast of champions, but it's [...]

Muddled, shaken or made into a cordial, snap peas add bright, savory flavor to spritzes, highballs and more. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In a year when Instagram has arguably served up more drinks than most in-person bartenders, eye-catching bright colors count. No wonder the snap pea cocktail has become a borderline phenomenon. Yet, the vibrant green hue [...]
Spring is the best time to enjoy bartender Dick Bradsell's blackberry-accented modern classic. A cocktail’s story—where it came from, how it was first made—is almost never easy to pin down. Sometimes, as with the Sazerac, it’s a murky swamp of details, ingredients popping in and out of the early recipes with no clear genealogy, all [...]
