Yesterday we posted a recipe from the Los Angeles Times for bloody marys made with fresh tomatoes and garnished with pickled green beans. Since we've also been talking about pickling quite a bit la...
Oh, we wish we'd seen these before the long weekend rather than after... ...
We loved Nora's post earlier today about the Dark and Stormy, largely because we've been drinking these quite a bit this summer. We lucked out and found the authentic ingredients — Gosling's rum a...
Whether you're catching some rays at a beach-side getaway, or enjoying a relaxing "staycation" at home, nothing beats the August heat like a tall, cool Dark and Stormy. And, best of all, the national...
Here at The Kitchn, we've posted before about the international "Slow Food" movement: using quality local ingredients from growers and suppliers with fair, sustainable practices. But what about applyi...
When plans for a lime and mint cocktail went awry last weekend (lesson: when shopping in a small-town grocery store 20 minutes before closing, be prepared for the mint to be sold out), we made this in...
Escape. That word can mean a lot of different things. We're exploring all angles, inspiring you to cook foods from far-off countries and celebrating gear that streamlines your getaway. But we also l...
Cool slabs of watermelon and cucumber. Fiery slivers of hot pepper. Dark dollops of sour tamarind. Bright dashes of orange juice and muddled cilantro. These are some of the unexpected flavors and text...
Last summer I spotted Melissa Clark’s ultra-simple and delicious-sounding recipe for homemade maraschino cherries in the food section of The New York Times, and was intrigued. I made a mental note o...
We saw this photo in the August issue of Domino. It's from designer Thom Filicia's lake house, and it's (obviously) a picture of his well-stocked bar. In his entry way. It got us thinking... ...
One product we're really loving this summer is this jar of wild hibiscus flowers in syrup. They're meant to be added to a glass of white wine or champagne, and add a refreshing sweetness to the drink...
Half the fun of cocktails is all the fascinating lore behind them. Here’s a roundup of some of our favorite cocktail names - and the colorful stories they bring to the table with them:...
It's only halfway through the week, but sometimes Wednesday is the best time to kick back with a cocktail. Sepia Chicago sent us this lovely little concoction of gin, lemon sour, and egg whites, and i...
A certain South American cocktail has been taking North America by storm. And suddenly a whole new market for a once little-known spirit has sprung up. The cocktail? The Caipirinha. The spirit? Cach...
Yesterday we gave you a recipe for Grilled Peaches with Bourbon Vanilla Whipped Cream. And when we made it, we had quite a bit of leftover whipped cream. Luscious, liquor-spiked, sweet whipped cream. ...
Massachusetts will surprise you with the food and produce you can find here, as we've seen. But wine?! We have to admit that wine is not something we'd ever expect to find "locally grown." But an a...
We are not very adventurous in our liquor choices. A plain gin and tonic is our perennial summer cocktail; why change a good thing? We'll order something new and exotic when dining out, but at home we...
We’re hosting a small gathering of friends and family for Independence Day this year, and have been busily browsing through some of our favorite cocktail books for inspiration. Here are four of o...
Apparently we're not the only ones getting hooked on cooking with beer! The most recent issue of Beer Advocate Magazine features five "brew chefs" from around the country who have been experimenting ...
Over the past few months here at The Kitchn, there’s been a lot of talk of “cooking by feel” - of bypassing the comfortable authority cookbooks often seem to offer, and taking a more creative a...
This past weekend, we neatly lined up with a few hundred of our closest friends, received our 2 oz. tasting cup with suitable grace, and proceeded to sprint into the tasting hall without a backward gl...
Citrusy and spicy, with a honeyed texture and the golden color of a summer sunset, Lillet Blanc is the perfect pre-dinner patio drink for a lazy June day....
Margarita purists may need to sit down and take a few deep breaths before reading this post. We know, this is an unconventional recipe for margaritas. But we promise it's good — and, it turns out, ...
Hot! New York Magazine is tired of the same old sangrias, and so they've gathered up inspiration from some of New York's hottest bartenders. Sangria may be our favorite summer drink - especially as in...
We've been paying a lot of attention to summer cocktails over the past few weeks, and the good old beer has gotten short shrift. But beer is no less loved here at The Kitchn, especially on a hot day, ...
