Eggnog with cinnamon swirl in a crystal punch bowl

Authentic Eggnog

By Maureen Abood On December 23, 2020 · 2 Comments · In Christmas, Drinks, Gluten-Free, Winter, Your Favorites
The richness of this authentic eggnog recipe is lightened with a big puff of whipped meringue and whipped cream. You can go non-alcoholic, but the rum really does cut the richness. Authentic eggnog, rich and creamy and heavily spiked, has always for some reason seemed out of reach come Christmas and New Year’s at home. [...]

Glass mug of Irish coffee with cream on top

Irish Coffee

By Maureen Abood On March 13, 2020 · 6 Comments · In Drinks, Gluten-Free, Winter
Peggy’s Irish Coffee recipe is strong and bracing, with the flavors of the coffee and whiskey offset by sugar cubes and a thick layer of heavy cream.

Blitz all of the ingredients with lots of ice to go for a frozen Hemingway Daquiri. I know when the love affair started. I wasn’t looking for [...]

Amaro cocktail on the bar with Amaro Nonno bottle

Amaro Cocktail

By Maureen Abood On November 26, 2019 · 2 Comments · In Drinks
The world of Amaro is rich and deep! An easy Amaro cocktail is just the ticket before or after dinner, especially a big feast. It was the bottle that got me at first. I’ve always been an easy sell for a beautiful bottle of spirits, especially when the liquid gold inside is a mystery. I [...]

Fresh Mint Slushie

By Maureen Abood On May 4, 2019 · 3 Comments · In Drinks, Gluten-Free, Ice Cream and Sorbets, Summer, Vegan, Vegetarian, Your Favorites
This fresh mint slushie, given some body with a hit of cucumber, is great with or without alcohol (bourbon, vodka, gin, arak or ouzo–any of these are great). Serve the mint slushie for a twist on the mint julep for the Kentucky Derby, and then all summer long for a fabulous barbecue party drink. Admittedly, [...]

Mini Cheese Flatbreads with Mint

By Maureen Abood On June 14, 2018 · 20 Comments · In Breads, Drinks, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Vegetarian, Yogurt, Labneh and Laban, Your Favorites
These mini cheese flatbreads with mint are a Lebanese tradition, part of the mana’eesh, the man’oushe flatbread family and just one of the many variations of toppings used. I love making cheese flatbreads in little rounds using my fatayar dough recipe, party-ready and so soft and tender. The topping is out-of-this-world flavorful, with halloumi, labne, [...]
