Fever Chill

Fever Chill

This warm cocktail is a spin on a classic toddy, but, has much more depth and interest than the original…primarily due to the addition of two types of scotch whisky (one mellow and, the other, heavily peated). If you’ve never tried a rinse or a spritz, you’ll have fun with this cocktail. It’s a way to add intense flavors (cue peated scotch) without overpowering the drink.

Orasella's Lemon Almond Brunch Bread

Orasella's Lemon Almond Brunch Bread

This bread, somewhat like a classic tea bread, is a favorite in my household. It’s is our go-to weekend brunch bread served with scrambled eggs and a bowl full of fruit. My kids would be happy to make this bread their entire breakfast - it’s that good. And, the glaze uses up the last bits in your Orasella jar - both the cherries and the syrup - adding that extra sweetness that pushes it over the top.

Orasella's Harvest Old Fashioned

Every once in a while, our friend, Jessie Poole, creates a cocktail that is so good, I have to will myself to stop at one, maybe two, pours. Welcome to such a cocktail and one of my favorites developed for Orasella.

Orasella’s Harvest Old Fashioned is not too complex, can easily be multiplied for serving at holiday gatherings, and, did I mention how tasty it is? I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Smooth like Cocoa Butter Kisses

Smooth like Cocoa Butter Kisses

This cocktail is deceptively simple. Just 4 ingredients with surprising complexity due to a little pre-work: sherry is fat washed with cocoa butter to impart its chocolatey flavor. Add that to amaro, Campari and Orasella’s own cherry syrup and what results is a cocktail that is light and nuanced enough to welcome in spring. And who isn’t ready for that?
