During a recent, incredibly vivid dream, I concocted a cocktail of coconut milk infused with hot pepper and mixed with vodka; it was called the Lidocaine. Tonight, having opened some coconut milk to make peanut sauce, I decided to make the dream. Nice!
Aperol is a bitter-orange liqueur made by Campari. It's a great addition to any bar, and this Spritz is a classic cocktail.
This is from Bon Appetit's Andrew Knowlton. He calls for apple bourbon if you have or make it. Regular bourbon will definitely suffice, but not the difference in amount of honey used. Medicinal! Yum!
I found this recipe years ago in Cooking Light. It's not overly sweet and is an interesting, refreshing version of your standard lemonade.
This recipe, from The PDT Cocktail Book, is just what you need to channel your inner Hemingway. French 75s always make me feel elegant and festive.

Have you ever enjoyed a milk punch? It’s a milk-based adult beverage commonly drunk on holidays in Louisiana. A combination of said milk, bourbon and/or brandy, sugar and nutmeg served cold, it is a sublime cocktail and definitely feels festive.
