PINT

A blend of spinach, artichokes and five cheeses served warm with pita crisps and hand cut corn chips.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

A spicy blend of savory cheese, jalapeños, green onions and red peppers. Wrapped and baked in a flour tortilla. Served with sour cream.

ANTIJITOS

Six crispy potato skins topped with mixed cheese and bacon, served with sour cream.

POTATO SKINS

If desired, chill a pint glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. For a salted rim, rub the cut edge of the fresh lime around the lip of the glass, then dip the rim lightly into coarse salt so it adheres.

Chill & Optional Salting

Add 3–4 ice cubes to the glass if you prefer a very cold drink. (Traditional serving often omits ice — include it only if desired.)

Hold the glass at a 45° angle and slowly pour the 12 fl oz of cold Bud Light down the side of the glass to minimize head. When the glass is about three-quarters full, tilt upright and finish pouring to create a 1–2 finger head.

Pour Beer

Cut the fresh lime in half. Squeeze half (or a quarter if you prefer less acidity) into the beer, discarding seeds. Drop the squeezed half into the glass if you like the extra citrus flavor, or discard it. Garnish the rim with a lime wedge.

Add Lime

Serve immediately while cold. Enjoy responsibly.

Bud Light (cold)

Fresh lime

Lime wedge (for garnish)

Coarse salt (for glass rim)

Brew 1 shot of espresso (about 30 ml) or strong coffee. Separately brew about 120 ml of hot drip coffee or use hot water to bring the total warm coffee volume to approximately 150 ml including the espresso. Keep coffee hot.

Brew

If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, dissolve 1 tsp brown sugar into the hot coffee now and stir until fully dissolved.

Preheat a heatproof glass or mug by rinsing with hot water, then discard the rinse water. This keeps the drink warm longer.

Pour the hot coffee mixture into the warmed mug, leaving about 1–1.5 cm headspace for the Baileys and whipped cream.

Measure and add 1 oz (30 ml) Baileys Irish Cream directly into the hot coffee. Stir gently for 5–10 seconds to combine the liqueur evenly with the coffee.

Top the coffee with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream. For a layered look, spoon the cream gently so it sits on top of the coffee.

Sprinkle about 1 tsp grated dark chocolate or a light dusting of cocoa powder over the whipped cream as garnish.

Serve immediately while hot with a small spoon for the whipped cream. Optionally provide a biscotti or shortbread on the side.

Baileys Irish Cream

brown sugar (optional)

whipped cream (fresh or canned)

Fill a tall collins or highball glass about 3/4 full with ice (approximately 1 cup).

Prepare glass

Pour 0.5 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup over the ice.

Add citrus and sweetener

Open 1 can of White Claw and gently pour it into the glass over the ice and lime mixture. Pour slowly to retain carbonation and avoid foaming.

Top with White Claw

Using a bar spoon, gently stir once or twice to combine the lime and syrup with the seltzer without flattening it.

Stir

Garnish the glass with 1 lime wedge or wheel on the rim and, if using, tuck a mint sprig into the drink. Serve immediately while fizzy.

White Claw hard seltzer (any flavor, lime or black cherry recommended)

Fresh lime juice

Simple syrup

Lime wedge or wheel

Fresh mint sprig (optional)

Place a pint glass or beer tulip in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare ingredients to ensure the beverage stays cold.

Chill glass

Roll the lime on the countertop with light pressure to release juices. Cut the half-lime in half if needed; reserve one half for juicing and the other half for a garnish wheel or wedge.

Prepare lime

Fill the chilled glass halfway with ice cubes (about 6 cubes). If you prefer a lighter, less malty character, pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold sparkling water into the glass over the ice. Otherwise skip this step.

Add ice and optional water

Open the Heineken 0.0 and tilt the glass at about 45 degrees. Pour the beer slowly down the side to produce minimal head; straighten the glass as it fills and leave about 1/2 inch (1 cm) of head. If you added sparkling water, pour the beer gently to avoid excessive foaming.

Pour beer

Squeeze the reserved 1/2 lime over the top of the beer to add a bright citrus note (about 1/2 tablespoon). Drop the squeezed lime half into the glass if you like more flavor or discard it. Stir gently once with a bar spoon (1–2 turns) to incorporate.

Finish with lime

Garnish the rim of the glass with the lime wheel or wedge. Optionally slap the mint sprig between your palms to release aromatics and tuck it against the glass interior (do not muddle). Serve immediately while cold.

Heineken 0.0 (non-alcoholic lager) or similar non-alcoholic beer

Cold sparkling water (optional — to lighten)

Ice cubes

Lime wheel or wedge for garnish

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter with the light brown sugar until it dissolves and just begins to bubble, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped toasted pecans and 1 tablespoon of the caramel sauce. Cook for 30–45 seconds, then remove from heat and let cool slightly. This creates a slightly sticky crumble to layer in the shooters.

Prep Caramel-Buttered Crumble

If using plain cake crumbs, place the 3 cups of crumbled cake in a bowl. Sprinkle the espresso or strong coffee (2 tablespoons, optional) evenly over the crumbs and gently toss with a fork to distribute — you want them slightly moistened, not soggy. This step brightens flavors and helps the cake meld with the caramel and pudding.

Moisten Cake

If using instant vanilla pudding, prepare according to package instructions and chill until slightly set. Fold half (about 1/2 cup) of the whipped cream into the pudding to lighten it. Reserve the remaining whipped cream for topping.

Prepare Filling

Spoon a thin layer (about 1 tablespoon) of caramel sauce into the bottom of each shooter glass (about 2–3 oz shooter cups). Add a layer of crumbled, moistened cake—about 2 tablespoons—pressing lightly. Pipe or spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pudding-whipped cream mixture over the cake. Add a spoonful (about 1 teaspoon) of the caramel-buttered crumble made earlier. Repeat with another thin cake layer (1–2 tablespoons) and a small dollop (about 1 tablespoon) of remaining pudding mixture so each shooter has 2 cake layers and 2 cream layers total. Finish each shooter with a final swirl of the reserved whipped cream (about 1 tablespoon) on top.

Assemble Shooters

Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce (reserve about 2 tablespoons) over the whipped cream top of each shooter. Sprinkle a pinch (about 1/8 tsp) of flaky sea salt over the caramel on each shooter to balance sweetness. Garnish with a few mini chocolate curls or shavings and a tiny pinch of the leftover chopped toasted pecans.

Finish & Garnish

Chill assembled shooters for at least 30 minutes to let layers settle and flavors meld. They can be made up to 24 hours ahead if stored covered in the refrigerator. Serve chilled; allow shooters to sit at room temperature 5–10 minutes before serving if they were refrigerated for more than an hour so the caramel is slightly softer.

Chill & Serve

all-purpose cake (prepared, crumbled)

caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

vanilla pudding (instant, prepared and cooled) or pastry cream

whipped cream (sweetened, stabilized or fresh)

light brown sugar

unsalted butter

toasted pecans (or walnuts), finely chopped

sea salt or flaky salt

espresso or strong coffee (optional, for moistening cake)

mini chocolate curls or shavings (optional garnish)

Fill a highball glass or Collins glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes to chill the glass and keep the cocktail cold.

In a mixing glass or shaker (no need to shake vigorously), pour 2 oz blanco tequila and 4 oz fresh orange juice over a handful of ice. Stir gently for about 10 seconds to lightly chill and integrate ingredients.

Combine base ingredients

Strain or pour the tequila-orange mixture into the prepared ice-filled serving glass. Slowly and carefully pour 0.5 oz grenadine down the inside edge of the glass or over the back of a bar spoon so it sinks to the bottom and creates the sunrise gradient.

Pour and layer grenadine

Do not stir. Garnish with an orange wheel on the rim and an optional maraschino cherry on a pick. Serve with a straw placed at an angle, allowing the drinker to gently blend the grenadine if desired.

Garnish and serve

Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing grenadine (0.25–0.75 oz). For a taller glass, scale ingredients proportionally. Use freshly squeezed orange juice for best flavor.

Chill a highball or hurricane glass by filling it with ice and setting aside while you mix the drink.

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz gin, 0.5 oz triple sec, 0.5 oz cherry liqueur (or 0.25 oz grenadine + 0.25 oz additional sweetener if you prefer), 1.5 oz fresh pineapple juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional for extra sweetness), and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.

Combine ingredients

Fill the shaker with ice (about 6-8 large cubes or equivalent crushed ice) and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.

Add ice and shake

Discard the ice used to chill the serving glass and fill the glass about two-thirds full with fresh crushed ice or ice cubes (approximately 1 cup).

Prepare serving glass

Strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass. If you are using additional grenadine for the classic pink gradient, slowly pour 0.25 oz grenadine down the inside edge of the glass so it sinks and creates a gradient at the bottom.

Strain and layer grenadine (if using separately)

Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry on a pick. Optionally add a straw and serve immediately.

Garnish and finish

Present chilled. Encourage the drinker to stir gently if they want a uniform color and sweetness before sipping.

Serve

London dry gin

Triple sec (or Cointreau)

Cherry liqueur (or grenadine if using non-alcoholic sweetness)

Grenadine (if using for color/sweetness instead of cherry liqueur)

Fresh pineapple juice

Simple syrup (optional, to taste)

Angostura bitters

Crushed ice or ice cubes

Garnish: fresh pineapple wedge

Garnish: maraschino cherry

Chill a 60–80 oz pitcher in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes. Add the gin (12 oz), dry vermouth (4 oz), elderflower liqueur (2 oz), fresh lemon juice (3 oz) and simple syrup (1.5 oz) into the chilled pitcher. Stir gently with a long spoon to integrate.

Combine spirits and citrus

Taste the blend; it should be bright, floral and lightly herbal. If it tastes too tart, add up to 0.5 oz more simple syrup. If too sweet, add 0.25–0.5 oz more lemon juice. Stir again after adjusting.

Adjust balance

Add 4 cups of cubed ice directly to the pitcher and stir briskly for about 20–30 seconds to further chill and slightly dilute the mixture.

Pour in the chilled club soda or sparkling water (12 oz) gently down the side of the pitcher to preserve carbonation. Add 6 dashes of Angostura bitters across the top and give a gentle 3–4 stroke stir — do not over-stir or you will flatten the bubbles.

Top with soda and bitters

Float 6 lemon wheels in the pitcher and tuck the fresh mint sprigs among the lemon wheels for aroma. Optionally slap the mint lightly between your palms before placing to release oils.

Garnish in-pitcher

Fill each serving glass halfway with ice (about 0.5–1 cup per glass). For a 60–80 oz pitcher this recipe yields approximately 6 servings — pour about 6–7 oz per glass. Garnish each glass with a lemon wheel and a mint sprig. If desired, add one gentle final dash of Angostura to each glass for presentation.

Leftover storage: keep the pitcher refrigerated and covered. For best quality drink within 6–8 hours; beyond that carbonation and aromatics will fade.

dry vermouth

elderflower liqueur (e.g., St-Germain)

fresh lemon juice

simple syrup (1:1)

chilled club soda or sparkling water

lemon wheels (for garnish)

fresh mint sprigs (for garnish)

ice (cubed, for pitcher and serving)

Fill a cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with ice to thoroughly chill and slightly dilute the mixture.

Prepare the shaker

Pour 0.5 oz Crown Royal, 0.5 oz Southern Comfort, and 0.5 oz amaretto into the shaker over the ice.

Measure and combine spirits

Add 0.5 oz sour mix (or 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice + 0.25 oz simple syrup) to the shaker. This balances the sweetness of the liqueurs and whiskey.

Add sour component

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is well chilled.

Shake

If desired, add a small drop (about 1/4 teaspoon) of grenadine into the bottom of a chilled 1.5 oz shot glass for a hint of extra color and sweetness.

Prepare the shot glass

Strain the shaken mixture into the shot glass so it sits on top of the grenadine. Serve immediately as a drop shot. Optionally garnish with a lemon wedge or a maraschino cherry on the rim.

Strain and drop

Consume as a single shot. If you prefer a milder, sippable version, pour over fresh ice in a rocks glass instead.

Serving suggestion

Crown Royal or other Canadian whiskey

Southern Comfort

Amaretto (Disaronno or similar)

Sour mix (pre-made) or fresh lemon juice + simple syrup

Grenadine

Ice (for shaking and optional chilling)

Lemon wedge or maraschino cherry (optional garnish)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch pan or line with parchment paper. This recipe yields a thin cake suitable to crumble into shooter glasses.

Preheat and prepare pan

In a medium bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.

Dry ingredients

In a separate bowl whisk the egg, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.

Wet ingredients

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the finely grated carrots, chopped nuts (if using), and raisins (if using). Do not overmix.

Combine batter

Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The cake should be slightly springy on top.

Bake

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack (about 30–40 minutes). Once cool, crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or pulse briefly in a food processor. Measure out about 1/2 cup cake crumbs per 6 shooter servings (adjust as needed).

Cool and crumble

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or whisk.
