Thank you for sharing sneak peaks of TBP with us. The most complicated cocktail I make is an occasional gin and tonic. I can see other NA options for peach purΓ©e, over vanilla ice cream or in iced tea. Also, I absolutely LOVE the lemongrass marinade. I actually used frozen lemongrass, which made it even more accessible. I broke the big block into approximately 1 T chunks for ease of future use. I’m already thinking of what else to use it on besides pork…

2 ingredient cocktails are my speed too. But for special occasions, I do like to mix things up more. Yes to using frozen lemongrass for the pork. That's smart cooking to make the marinade come together easily. Cheers!

Yes, I am doing the classic simple ones: always a martini, gin and tonic, negroni (my favorite), saturn (a tiki cocktail), scofflaw (so old that when I ask for this at a bar, the bartenders reply "never heard of it"). I have a good recipe for homemade tonic that's real yum. Gin is my favorite go to ... have you tried Song Cai gins? I use the Song Cai Roselle gin with ginger beer - very delicious if you like spicey.

Cheers Andrea, you are such a busy body, I wish I have your energy!
