Wild Moon Rose Liqueur is
a versatile, lower alcohol spirit created by Creatrix and
Infusionary Lelaneia Dubay, owner of the woman-owned
distillery Hartford
Flavor Company based in Hartford, Connecticut. This delectable,
certified gluten free spirit inspired us to create many cocktail and culinary
recipes with it, as well as add it to champagne and prosecco, drizzle it over
vanilla ice cream, jazz up a fresh fruit salad, use it to glaze grilled shrimp
and grilled pineapple, and brush it on the cut sides of cakes to impart layers
of flavor and keep our cakes moist. Cheers!

We do lots of cooking and baking
that require very precise, exact temperatures where a degree or two higher or
lower can mean the difference between success or failure. Throughout the years
we have used many cooking thermometers to ensure accuracy, and
recently "discovered" the ThermoWorks
Thermapen® ONE, which has the added benefit of producing
fast one-second digital readings! Cooking and baking just got a lot easier. With
holiday shopping just around the corner, the ThermoWorks Thermapen®
ONE is a perfect gift for your favorite chef or foodie or to gift yourself as
well. Bon Appetit!
