Taste and Tipple

As part of my "Fresh From The Garden" free eBook (available here: https://shop.tasteandtipple.ca/products/fresh-from-the-garden-ebook) I wanted to incorporate more savoury, vegetal elements into my tipples. A simple beet infusion on quality vodka yields a complex and earthy base spirit worthy of a spirit-forward stir-down.

DROP THE BEET MARTINI

- 1½ oz beet-infused vodka
- ½ oz ginger liqueur
- ½ oz dolin dry vermouth
- 3 dashes celery bitters
- Garnish: lemon twist

Beet-Infused Vodka
- 3 beets, peeled and diced
- 2 cups vodka

- Stir all ingredients over ice in a mixing glass and strain into a chilled martini glass.
- Express lemon peel onto the surface of the drink. Twist and place on the lip of the glass.

Beet-Infused Vodka
- Add peeled and diced beets to a large mason jar, top with 2 cups of vodka. - - Store in a cool, dark place for 3 days. Strain out solids and store in the fridge or freezer.

BEET-INFUSED MARTINI RECIPE

This classic sweet martini is sometimes considered the precursor to the martini - although is very different on the palate. Sweet vermouth and maraschino liqueur make this an easier-drinking alternative to a classic dry martini.

MARTINEZ

- 1½ oz gin
- 1½ oz sweet vermouth
- ¼ oz maraschino liqueur
- 2 dashes angostura bitters
- Garnish: orange twist

- Stir ingredients with ice in a mixing glass until well-chilled.
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- Garnish with orange twist.

When this episode originally aired on my Virtual Happy Hour Series on Instagram Stories (http://instagram.com/tasteandtipple) on May 26, 2020 I was doing a weeklong feature showcasing other cocktail creators who I admire and who inspire me - like Amanda.

Who doesn’t love a little seasonal citrus to add

Who doesn’t love a little seasonal citrus to add a splash of sunshine to these cold winter days? What’s your favourite citrusy recipe to enjoy at this time of year?

I’m currently daydreaming about the Vanilla Pavlova with Blood Orange Curd from the blog archives. Linked in bio for my fellow dessert people.

After spending the majority of November and Decemb

After spending the majority of November and December chained to my desk juggling my day job and the demands of the #letsgetblitzen advent calendar, my priority for the New Year is to prioritize movement.

Sitting for extended periods of time hurts me, literally. My old lady hips tighten up and lower back pain flares up. While my plans to get back to the gym have been temporarily foiled, I’ve been recruiting accountability FaceTime buddies for at-home HIIT workouts, yoga, and frigid walk friends too.

As I’ve lost some of my strength and cardio fitness over the past couple months, I’m trying to ease back into it and give myself some grace so I don’t end up injuring or over exerting myself. Returning to exercise after a hiatus definitely demands some serious humility.

Putting my muscles to work feels good (even when it leaves me stiff as a board the next day) and boosts my mood and mental health.

How are you keeping active this month?

This is my third year doing Whole30 in January and

This is my third year doing Whole30 in January and I’ve developed a few tried and true recipes that I’m excited to eat, even when I just want to eat an entire loaf of white bread. These Bacon & Egg Sweet Potato Boats have been my go-to breakfast this week.

I bake a bunch of sweet potatoes at the beginning of the week, prep the Avocado Cilantro Lime sauce and Harissa Relish, then I just have to fry up some eggs and serve it up in the morning. Promise this is much more delicious than all the sugar-free, dairy-free yogurts I’ve tried (which taste like a coconut crossbred with a handful of dirty nickels).

Get the recipe for these breakfast boats at the link in bio!

Happy New Year! I’m cautiously optimistic that 2

Happy New Year! I’m cautiously optimistic that 2022 will be an improvement on the past twelve months. I would give 2021 a 2/5 stars and happily write a pretty scathing Yelp review.

My main goal for the New Year is to focus more of my energy inward and do some important inner work that I’ve been putting off. Notably I’d like to:

- find a therapist,
- work on my mindset about romantic relationships - I think I’m holding onto some negativity and limiting beliefs and am closing myself off to the possibility of finding love,
- get outside for a few minutes every day - even when it’s -40 or the weather is miserable, and
- be present and actually celebrate my accomplishments and the things I’m proud of instead of constantly chasing the next victory.

I like to set goals instead of resolutions because the framing feels a bit less high-pressure and offers a little more grace on how and when we want to achieve them.

Are you setting any goals for 2022?
