5 Essential Cocktails for March 2023

Each month, Chilled is bringing you five essential cocktails based on our National Drink Day Calendar. Don’t forget to reference it so you can prepare for the upcoming holidays.

 

As the season begins to close, it’s the last chance to enjoy those winter-inspired cocktails. Spring is around the corner but while we wait for the sunshine and flowers, indulge in one of these craft cocktails.

Bar owner tip: Create a food pairing for each cocktail this month. Instead of just offering the drink, have a chef create a dish to accompany the drink. Those with a sophisticated palette will gravitate.

Here are five cocktails you should sip this March.

 

 

Perfect “Baklava” Manhattan

Starting the month strong with National Peanut Butter Lovers Day (3/1). This delicious twist on a classic will surprise anyone who sips it. The peanut butter whiskey offers a sweet, dessert-like taste, while the bourbon gives that classic manhattan flavor. Top the cocktail off with a few drops of chocolate walnut bitters to bring this drink to life.

 

Hot Mint Grasshopper

For National Oreo Day (3/6), give this hot and minty cocktail a try. The notes of chocolate, mint, and matcha bring together this drink. It’s crafted with a plant-based cream and topped with crushed Oreos (which are vegan). The dessert-style cocktail is perfect for ending the night cuddled up by a fire.

 

Yellow Sledbetter

On March 8, celebrate International Women’s Day with a cocktail crafted by Suzy Tweten. Warm up with this whiskey-based drink that has notes of honey, lemon, ginger, and spices. The honey syrup adds the perfect touch of sweetness, while the spiced liqueur and whiskey bring warmth.

 

 

Chai Espresso Martini

Declared by Chilled, Espresso Martini Day happens every March, the day after daylight savings—because we all need a little pick me up. Mix up this twist on the classic and try something different. The coconut chai syrup adds a depth of flavor without overpowering the espresso flavor.

 

St. Kevin Sling cocktail with warm striped background

It wouldn’t be a March essential cocktail list without a St. Patrick’s Day (3/17) dedicated one. Rather than serving green beer and cocktails, sip on an Irish Whiskey drink. The St. Kevin Sling packs a punch making it the perfect option to serve on this heavily-celebrated holiday.

You Can Eat Martha Stewart's Baked Goods (Without Baking a Thing)

It’s a new year, which means it’s time for a new project for Martha Stewart, who I can only assume never, ever sleeps (meanwhile I, a 26-year-old, get fussy after anything less than a rock solid eight and a half hours ). This time, it’s not a partnership with Snoop Dogg or a craft store or a CBD-company . Martha Stewart has teamed up with Goldbelly to bring her lifelong favorite baked recipes—everything from flaky, buttery French croissants to luxurious kouign amann to sticky-sweet apricot danishes to her Extraordinary Chocolate Chip Cookies —straight to your home. “I’m thrilled to partner with Goldbelly to bring my favorite baked cookies and pastries to their loyal customers," said Martha Stewart in a statement. "Thoughtfully packaged in my signature Martha blue, these cookies are baked using some of my life-long favorite recipes and they make the perfect gifts for your loved ones or for yourself.” Read More >> from Food52 https://ift.tt/9c4W8MLeB via IFTTT

29 Great American Diners

Image
Lille Allen/Eater America’s diners account for some of the oldest restaurants in the nation. Here are some of the most iconic. A diner is a mood. It’s the slosh of sharp, black coffee poured from a steel tank behind the counter into a heavy white mug. It’s the miniature packets of butter and strawberry jelly waiting for their foil to be peeled back. It’s the waitstaff who’ve been scribbling orders on blue-striped checks for 40 years and know how to balance eight plates of pancakes on one arm. It’s the assurance that your eggs will always come out just the way you like them — not too runny in the whites, with a soft orange yolk built to drag slices of crisp, buttery, industrial-grade toast through. The promise of feeling like a regular no matter how many times you’ve actually visited. America’s diners account for some of the oldest and most iconic restaurants in the nation. A dying breed by some accounts and a resurgent one by others, they’re shorthand for a vision of the Unite...

Beyond Impossible: The Sanitarium and World War II Past of Meat Substitutes

Image
Photo by Tom Kelley/Getty Images We’ve come a long way from John Harvey Kellogg’s “protose cutlets” It’s no stretch to say that fake meat is having a moment . With the popularity of brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat joining fast-food menus and grocery store aisles alike, plant-based meats are no longer seen as a sad option for vegetarians long denied flavor with meat substitutes (though, as we know, plenty of vegetarian food is packed with flavor), but for anyone who enjoys a good burger, fried chicken, or nuggets. But are meat substitutes really the future of eating? Maybe by necessity as food resources run out, but not likely by choice. In fact, despite the big money raked in by Impossible and Beyond over the past few years, industrial meat consumption in America is actually on the rise. This week on Gastropod , Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley see how the not-sausage gets made, with visits to the Impossible Meat lab and Meati , a Colorado-based start-up that’...
