Lemon Drop Mixer | Stirrings

First to recommend

5 people recommended this item

Description

Yum! I'll kill for anything citrus. Look at some of my past recommendations and you'll find proof of this obsession.

So, imagine my surprise when I saw Stirrings' Lemon Drop! Sweet yet tart and oh so delicious.

So get on the phone, call up some friends, get out that bottle of Stirrings and introduce it to that lonely bottle of Vodka that's been trapped in the freezer. Its time for an impromptu party!

Wait... did I mention its all natural? Yeah, it is. Call some more friends!

Tazo Matcha

First to recommend

Description

What would I do if the world did not have matcha? How would I fuel up without the usual guilt?

Matcha powder is concentrated green tea. Its consumed in many ways and is the primary ingredient in Starbucks' green tea drinks. The Tazo Matcha concentrate is an imaginative one. The flavor of green tea is blended with honeydew melon. It makes great green tea lattes.

I mix mine with some cool soymilk for a cool way to start the morning.

La Fin du Monde by Unibroue inc.

First to recommend

Description

Belgian ales are not new but they are tasty. If you love Hoegaarden and Blue Moon, you should expand your horizons. Be aware however, there are not for the faint of heart and pack lots more punch than your typical brew. Lots of alcohol here!

Teavana Blueberry Bliss Rooibos Tea

First to recommend

Description

This weekend I stepped into a Teavana store for the first time - what an experience.

Many have speculated that tea will regain its popularity - with stores like Teavana, it might. The staff was incredibly friendly and maybe too educated about tea. No question went unanswered. Its rare to see such enthusiasm.

I sampled a ton of tea but in the end I settled for the Blueberry Bliss Rooibos tea. Its a wonderfully yummy and fun tea that is great hot and even better over ice. What can I say, I am a sucker for blueberries.

My previous experience with tea shops was abroad. When I traveled through Paris, I remember the wonderful variety of tea shops and the exotic scents of tea from all over the world. Then, tea shops were still very uncommon here. Things have changed.

Teavana has lots of great tea accessories to go along with its insanely large assortment of tea. If you have a chance, give them a shot. You'll love it.

Shin Double Wall Coffee Press

First to recommend

Description

This coffee press will put all others to shame! It is the premiere press in my kitchen.

Topping Bodum's impressive double wall collection, the Shin press is the logical and beautiful evolution. The double wall construction sparkles as it keeps your perfectly made brew hot.

I was lucky to grab one of the all-glass version where even the handle was made of crystal clear glass. You can still get the plastic handle version.

Starbucks Espresso Machine

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Bring the barista home (not literally).

Who among us doesn't enjoy a yummy latte or mocha? The trip to Starbucks is always fun but sometimes we want to sit at home, maybe entertain some company and serve up something warm and delicious!

I love knowing that if I want a latte at 3 in the morning, as long as I can find my way to the kitchen I'm set. I love this machine and anyone who is serious about enjoying their coffee should consider one. You dont have to stop going to Starbucks - its just one more way to bring great tasting coffee drinks into your life.

Starbucks just brought this model out - its probably identical to the original Starbucks Barista machine, only it carries the Saeco name.

This is not a toy! Its a serious piece of equipment that will definitely impress your guests and make a great shiny additon to your kitchen! Read the reviews, this is probably one of the best starter machines on the market! I know!

All metal. 2 shots at once. Made in Italy.

Moscato Allegro

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

When the days become long and the weather is warm I think of the wonderful variety of summer drinks to share with friends on warm evenings. Moscato Allegro is one of my favorites!

This isnt your typical high-brow muscat (moscato). Moscato Allegro is an affordable and accessible everyday dessert wine (if there ever was such a thing). This fragrant and fruit-heavy wine will gracefully dance across your palette leaving a crisp and lingering finish. The rich aroma will remind you of exotic fruit and florals with hints of orange blossoms, apricots and peaches. Its not as syrupy-sweet so it can be enjoyed even more.

Moscato Allegro is great as a dessert wine or as a fantastic aperitif served with light pastries or fruit.

Moscato Allegro is made in California by one of the premier muscat wineries.

Approx $12 for 750ml

Orangina Citrus Drink

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

As the seasons change and the weather slowly warms up, I find myself craving all the things that just aren't the same if enjoyed in the winter. Orangina is just one of those little spring & summer treats. For the unacquainted, Orangina is a light and gently carbonated citrus drink. 12% orange juice and a touch (2%) orange pulp give it a subtly sweet-tart flavor with a hint of texture. The pulp will naturally settle on the bottom - this beckons that the textured bottle be rocked to help move the pulp around and to 'awaken' the fizz.

Prager Port: Sweet Claire

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Sweet Claire is a late harvest riesling... in other words, if you think reising is sweet, just you wait. This pale straw colored wine is rich in sweetness and aromas of apples, apricots and a touch of allspice. The taste is balanced nicely so the subtle flavors dont fight for your attention, they play very well on your palate. Great by itself or with spicy foods.

Each 375ml bottle is joy... and not for too much money!

Prager Port Works is a required stop on any Napa / Sonoma trek! Located in St. Helena, CA, Prager is one of those unexpected gems that draws little attention to itself. Aside from a simple sign, you'd never know that the short gravel path leads to a fantastic find!
