Malted Peach Frappe {or is it a Milkshake?}
When I discovered today was National Frappe Day I smiled out loud. It’s been years since I’ve had a frappe, yet a familiar fondness remains. I’ve shared before that I grew up just a corn field away from an iconic New England Ice Cream Shop. The very place I discovered my love for Dusty Miller Sundaes and Malted Peach Frappes.

Azalea Cocktail
The 13th hole at Augusta National aka The Masters Tournament is named Azalea. While the entire course is a thing of beauty, there’s something extra special about a green tucked up amongst a backdrop of blooming azaleas. Let that be the inspiration for this cocktail.

Jalapeño Infused Margarita
Jalapeño Infused Margarita. I recently went on a business trip to Las Vegas and enjoyed a really nice dinner at Taqueria Canonita located in the Venetian Hotel. The company, the atmosphere, the food…were all wonderful. But the Jalapeño Infused Margarita was inspirational.
