We loved
"discovering" Pink House Alchemy (PHA) and using their small
batch handcrafted flavored simple syrups and shrubs
in our cocktail and culinary recipes. Their Simple
Syrups include Cardamom, Dark Cherry Grenadine,
Ginger, Hazelnut, Mexican Chile Syrup,
Pumpkin Butternut Spice Syrup, and many more, and inspired Shrubs
include Pineapple Rosemary, Pineapple, and
Ginger. Whether you opt to use it in cocktail or culinary recipes,
the possibilities are endless.

Khia Nelson owner and creator of K Bloody Mary Mix is a self-confessed
"Bloody Mary Snob," and her no-alcohol drink-ready K Bloody Mary Mix is
downright delectable. Khia used her years of hospitality experience to create
her small-batch Bloody Mary Mix made in Brooklyn, New York that is not only
delicious, its vegan, organic, and gluten-free.
Add vodka, tequila, mezcal, sake, or gin, or serve K Bloody Mary Mix on
its own and you have the makings for a great party. For us, holidays and brunches
would not be the same without our tradition of Bloody Mary cocktails as they
are the perfect go-to cocktail, however in addition to creating cocktails with K
Bloody Mary Mix, we also used it as a base for some very tasty culinary
recipes. Cheers and Bon Appetit!

We
love excellent quality coffee to start our day, an espresso or iced coffee in
the afternoon, as well as used in cocktail and culinary recipes. We recently
"discovered" Java

their 10-year anniversary on May 1, 2021. With their widely diverse selection
of high-quality coffees, you can break out from your usual coffee routine and
take your palate on a trip around the world with their exotic coffees from Brazil,
Columbia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Papua New Guinea, and Sumatra,
as well as enjoy one of their domestic blends. In addition to their coffee,
they also carry an extensive line of teas available online and at their 4
locations in New York and New Jersey.

Always on the lookout for
interesting products to incorporate in our recipes, we tried and loved Marabissi Il Panforte Torta Amerene e Peperoncino (Sour
Cherries and Chili "Cake") imported
by Italian
Products & Beyond. The Sour Cherries and Chili Cake is like a
fruit and nut pâté, that also has cocoa, almonds, and honey is a delectable
accompaniment to serve with cheese as well as incorporate in baking and savory
culinary recipes. We used it to create our recipe for Luxury Experience -
Grappa Sour Cherry Almond Chicken. Buon Appetito!

As professional
chefs and home cooks know, a great source
for high-quality culinary ingredients is worth its weight in gold. We
recently found and fell in love with the company Italian Products
& Beyond that is an incredible resource for high-quality
culinary ingredients. Their extensive collection of EVOOs,
vinegars, truffle products, pates, pesto,
tomatoes, coffee, fish, salts,
nuts, sweets, and so much more, are the stuff of
culinary dreams! We especially love the Italian Extra Virgin Olive
Oils (EVOOs) from Gonnelli 1585, Frantoio Di Santa Téa Olio Extra Vergine Di Oliva. Happy
Cooking!
