In most Latin American Countries, a "Limon" can be yellow OR green; they consider it to be the same fruit. This super sweet "Lemonade" is made with (green) limes. This Brazilian drink called Swiss Lemonade, as it uses "Swiss" Sweetened Condensed Milk as an ingredient, is a super-sweet thirst quencher on a hot day. Many recipes incorporate the entire fruit from the Lime into the blender, however, I have found that inclusion of the pith results in a bitter flavor. This is why I include only the zest and the juice from the Lime.
This reduction was inspired by Cheerwine Soda, a super sweet soft drink that is commonly found in North Carolina. Like Cheerwine, this homemade cherry reduction can be used in a wide range of recipes, such as BBQ sauce, cherry topping for deserts, a replacement for grenadine, or as a flavoring for soda water. In addition to the frozen cherries, this recipe also calls for bottled cherry juice. For best results, ensure that the juice has no additional sugar added and contains 100% cherry juice. Do not settle for a cheaper mix that includes other filler juices, such as pear juice or grape juice. In order to make into Cherry Syrup, dissolve an additional 1.5 Cups of Sugar.
The Holidays just aren't the same without a glass of Egg Nog. It is surprisingly easy to make at home, with ingredients that you probably already have. From-scratch G'Nog tastes better than the stuff you buy in the store, and it doesn't have all the high-fructose corn syrup and added thickening agents. Eating raw, unpasteurized eggs can pose a potential health risk of salmonella contamination, but you can easily pasteurize eggs using your Sous Vide.
Ginger Ale can be easy and fun to make at home. Using Lime Simple Syrup or even a splash of grenadine can personalize your Ginger Ale recipe.
This flavored Simple Syrup is easy to make and can be used to flavor home-made sodas. Additionally, you can add a splash to Ginger Ale, Lemon-Lime soda, or Coke.

Pomegranate Molasses is a traditional Middle-Eastern cooking and finishing sauce for lamb and other meats. Most recipes add sugar (and then lemon juice, to offset the super sweetness) in order to thicken the molasses more easily. This recipe is the traditional method for Pomegranate Molasses, containing only a single ingredient: Pomegranate Juice. A few drops of Pomegranate Molasses can be added to Ginger Ale to make a sweet-sour Shirley Temple or it can be drizzled over vanilla ice cream for a fruity treat.
Wassail is a festive holiday fruity drink that is typically consumed warm. This drink has the added benefit of making the whole house smell like Christmas exploded in your kitchen. This Wassail can simmer all day long. Just spoon the servings directly into mugs, while the pot continues to simmer.
This cool refreshing drink is perfect for a hot Summer Day
