5 Essential Cocktails for November

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.

Now that the weather is getting a little colder and all the trick-or-treaters have diminished, it’s time to prepare for the holiday season.

November brings with it a sense of gratitude and abundance. It’s a time when family and friends gather around tables. And what better way to celebrate this abundance than with an array of cocktails inspired by the month’s national holidays?

So, get ready to revamp your bar menu with these essential cocktails that will leave your patrons coming back for more.

Love Train

Kick off the start of the month and celebrate World Vegan Day (11/1) with a veggie-forward cocktail. With the thought of vegetables and spices enhancing the spirit of the cocktail, the Love Train was born. It uses fresh ingredients, ones that probably are on hand, and edible garnishes that will make any vegan excited.

Sneaky Pete

Daylight savings can be a killer. The days become shorter, and the exhaustion hits. That’s why on November 5, you’ll need a coffee pick-me-up to save the day. The Sneaky Pete will give you a boost of energy while also packing a boozy punch. It’s topped with a mint sprig for a delightful fresh touch.

La Vendemia

Not all shots are straight up, and this one should definitely be on your radar. For National Shot Day, November 8, throw back the La Vendemia to celebrate. Topped with pinot noir for that layered look—it’s almost too pretty to drink. It brings something new and fresh to the shot experience.

Apple Cider Fizz

It wouldn’t be the fall without an apple-based cocktail. November 18 marks National Apple Cider Day, and we have just the thing for you to sip in celebration. The Apple Cider Fizz is a seasonal take on the classic gin cocktail. The Danerama sugar and cinnamon rim take this drink to the next level. There’s even the option to sub heavy cream with a non-dairy alternative for those who don’t consume milk.

Tito’s Lemon Pound Cake

Instead of a cocktail for National Cake Day (11/26), make a boozy cake instead. Switch things up and mix up this lemon pound cake that’s made with vodka. Even the lemon glaze has a shot (or two) of the spirit. It’s a fun way to get crafty in the kitchen but still stay on theme.

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’
