5 Essential Cocktails for April 2023

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

 

Spring has officially sprung, which means a new cocktail menu gets added to your to-do list. But don’t worry—Chilled is here to help. After a few months of the cold and dark winter, we’re ready to drink something fruity and fresh.

Get your wheels turning and look no further for some spring cocktail inspiration. We hope these five cocktails help to revamp your cocktail menu and bring some excitement back.

 

Carrot Chai Latte

Carrots should be a bar staple. They’re a very underrated ingredient, even though they bring the perfect sweetness to any drink. Shake up a spring-inspired chai latte for National Carrot Day (4/4). While a chai latte can be deemed a winter drink, it has no chance for this one, with its fresh notes of carrot juice and heavy cream for just the right amount of added richness.

It’s The Chaat

National Garlic Day falls on April 19, and what better way to celebrate than with a cocktail? This cocktail is made with mango chutney that has finely minced garlic. It brings out the aniseed notes of the vodka. Before you say no, see for yourself how this savory ingredient pairs perfectly with this cocktail.

 

 

Disaronno Creole Sour

Don’t let April 19 go by without celebrating National Disaronno Day. This simple cocktail allows for the excellent flavors of Disaronno to shine through. It has a touch of bitterness from the Angusotra, sourness from the lemon, and the right amount of sweetness from the sugar. It’s a classic that will guarantee to be a hit.

 

 

Purple Banana

Not only is this cocktail bright and beautiful deeming it a fantastic option for spring, but with the blue-pea tea-infused tequila, it will help you celebrate National Tea Day (4/21). If you’re in the area of New York, pop by Brooklyn and give it a try for yourself at Casa Ora. The sweet banana simple syrup is like nothing you’ve tasted before.

 

 

Temple of Jaguar

We all know how important reusing and repurposing ingredients are, especially in a bar/kitchen. If you are looking for some inspiration to show your support for National Stop Food Waste Day (4/28), a waste-free garnish is a way to go. The Temple of Jaguar uses upcycled scraps and ingredients from the kitchen to add this tasty strawberry and Tajin garnish.

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

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’
