Why make it This Paloma cocktail offers refreshing and bright tequila, fresh lime juice and grapefruit soda. The recipe takes just 5 minutes. You can mix the cocktail directly into a glass to make preparation and cleanup very simple.

Just assuming you’re not looking for beer, the old internal battle continues. The refreshing and fruity cocktails are both very tasty, which is a tough phone.

Raspberry Simple Syrup brings all the tangy, fresh raspberry flavours without any nasty little seeds! In addition to your favorite drinks, it brings a natural raspberry flavour and colour. Frozen or fresh raspberries If you have some spares, you can use frozen raspberries or fresh ones! I grow raspberries in the summer and fall, but unfortunately I always use frozen in this recipe, as it’s not enough to chat, rather than the amount of syrup. They are simmered in water and soaked in all the flavors and colours. It’s very sweet because it makes this a simple syrup, but the…

Dau Hu Rang Muoi is translated into Vietnamese “salt dried tofu” or “burning tofu toasted with toasted salt.” The dish begins with lightly seasoned, starch-coated and fried tofu until golden. Then you’re drunk and thrown quickly with aromatics…

This grilled honey lime chicken is very simple and incredibly flavorful. The chicken thighs are marinated with marinated ginger, garlic and honey before being baked to perfection. Serve as an IS or slice and add it to your rice bowl! A few years ago, a friend gave me this recipe and since then I’ve made it many times.

During the warm months, it was delicious, very easy and everyone…

This Cajun seasoning mix adds bold flavour to any type of recipe. Skip store-bought blends and make yourself at home with spices you probably already have in your pantry.

Since then I have discovered how versatile this spice blend is. And it basically became my go-to versatile condiment. This scaled recipe creates 10 tablespoons (just over 1/2 cup) and when you peek into the pantry you will always find a jar…
