I can’t say why buttered popcorn and an old horror flick is so appealing
this time of year, but Iphigenia Jones gets it. The author of “The Turn of the
Screwdriver” gives us fun quotes and cocktails inspired by Anne Rice, Mary
Shelley and Edgar Allan Poe.
Try
sips of:
Wuthering Flights, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mudslide, Greyhound
of the Baskervilles and White Russian is for Witching. Here’s a cool grog just
right for the season:
The Legend of Slushy Hollow
2 ounces dark rum
1
ounce water
One
half ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
One
half ounce honey or simple syrup
Combine
water, dark rum, lime juice and honey or simple syrup in a blender. Add a
generous amount of ice cubes to the blender.
Blend the
ingredients until you achieve a slushy consistency. Add more ice if needed to
reach the desired texture.
Pour the slushy
grog into a glass.
Vegan Chocolate Brownie Mix – The Mightylicious brownie mix called for vegan
yogurt, melted palm or coconut oil and perhaps the addition of nuts or
chocolate chips. The think I forgot was to use coffee instead of water when
stirring up this easy mix. If you’re avoiding gluten but seeking flavor, www.mightlicious.com has some options you’ll love. These brownies mixed up as quickly as they
went off the platter.
Buckstin Brewing Company - Brewski fans who love the
Nederland site, know that the Beaumont hangout is also chill. It was the
cauliflower crust pizza that drew me in. My table loved the thin crust and the
way all the other toppings merge for a crispy burst of flavor. The staff could
not be more friendly. It seems like everyone on the clock is there just to
serve you.
