Shirley Temple: The Ultimate Classic Mocktail Recipe

Virgo Season is the season of the Virgin Cocktail. And my personal favorite is none other than the Classic Shirley Temple. Made modern with Homemade Ginger Ale, Grenadine and sweetened with agave syrup, it’s sweet, spicy and utterly refreshing. As a mix of sweet and heat, the Classic Shirley Temple resonates with the sign of the Virgin not only because it’s non-alcoholic, but because the ginger in it is reputed to be good for the digestion, a part of the body ruled by picky, perfectionist Virgo. And it just makes sense, as both Virgo and the digestive system are know …

Punchy Homemade Ginger Ale

I call this homemade Ginger Ale “Punchy” because it really packs a punch. Sweet and spicy and filled with ginger energy, it’s not like anything you can get in the store. A perfectly refreshing drink for Virgo season, the energy of ginger resonates with both the Sun and Mars. The Sun is the planet of will, conciousness, vitality and self-confidence and Mars is the planet of ambition, energy and drive. So if you’re feeling the need for a boost of energy, give it a shot. But if you’re feeling like you could go on the war path soon, you may …

Cilantro Lime Crema Sauce

Cilantro Lime Crema is bursting with creamy, bright flavor that just screams summer. Use it on fish or shrimp tacos, or as a spicy dip for veggies. This Cilantro Lime Crema will wake your tastbuds up. In this recipe, I use Duke’s Mayonnaise which has a distinctly tangy taste. If you don’t like the flavor of Duke’s or don’t have it on hand, you can substitute a different brand of mayo, but you may want to leave out the honey, which is really there to cut through the tangy flavor and give it some depth. What is Cilantro Lime Crema …

Fourth of July Dessert: Red, white and blueberry pie

Looking for a Fourth of July dessert? Well I’ve got the perfect one right here. It’s a red, white and blueberry pie. Infused with Fireball Whisky, freshly grated cinnamon and vanilla bean, this combination of Granny Smith apples, rhubarb and blueberries is a crowd pleaser. The magic of the Fourth of July I’m not a super patriotic person, but I do love a good Fourth of July celebration. It brings me back to the old days growing up when my parents would take us out to a dirt field to somewhat responsibly set off a barrage of fireworks. My dad …

Tropical Summer Peach Margarita Cocktail Recipe

It’s the last week of spring, but I’m already in a summer mood. A tropical drink type summer mood. Prepping for the solstice next week, I’m in the mood for something beachy, fruity and fun. So what better than a Peach Margarita? Or better yet, call them Marsgaritas because Mars just recently entered Taurus. Taurus is ruled by Venus and so are peaches, so there you go. And just one sip and you’ll be singing, “Wasting away again in Margaritaville.” Peaches are not just a summer staple, they are also a fruit of longevity. I added a touch of mint …
