Bourbon Balls
These were a holiday gift that my cousin Jackie gave to everyone. This is hysterical to me because she was SOOOPER Catholic and never drank. They’re very addictive, I’ve never known anyone who could eat just one and walk away.
Comfort Sour
The name “Comfort Sour”, I believe was given because of the use in this version of a whiskey sour. Nonetheless, you may use any bourbon or rye that you like. This came from a booklet of drinks circa 1970s is my guess. Here’s the page of the booklet this came from
St. Louis Cocktail
This drink is for those that like to sip on whiskey or bourbon. The peaches add just a touch of sweetness and a wonderful peachy essence. I added some fresh sweet raspberries to add some color and flavor. This would be perfect to enjoy during the hot summer months. For a fun twist, you could use peach or apricot sorbet!
Sweet Angel On a Devilish Cloud
In Greek mythology, pomegranates were used to trick the goddess, Persephone, into becoming the queen of the underworld. With this dessert, you can tell the story of a sweet girl turned dark and bitter within the clouds. Though most people see the pomegranate as bad due to this story, it actually has many properties that are good! Pomegranate arils are often used for abundance, fertility, and luck. So why not give a guest, friend, or lover a taste of good intentions?
Old-Time Maple Gingerbread
When fall gets close you start hearing of all things pumpkin spice. One of those warming spices included in pumpkin spice is ginger. Ginger is versatile and can be used in savory and sweet cuisine, it has many health benefits, including aiding digestion. Traditionally in the fall and around the holidays, gingerbread cookies are a mainstay. This maple gingerbread is a wonderful way to get your gingerbread fix. It’s simple and easy and bakes up in less than an hour. Drizzle the warmed maple hard sauce over it and you have a great finish to any meal.
