If you’re like me, you can’t get enough herbal flavor when it comes to cocktails. I love anything with green chartreuse in it, but I feel like it’s a liqueur all too often reserved for winter or fall cocktails. The strong, complicated spirit has a nearly mythical background: produced by French monks with a highly […]
In my continued quest for delicious drinks and beautiful ambience on a patio, Little Bitte’s new Garden Patio, called Bar Bitte, at the Bloom Collective was the perfect next stop. You enter the space through the parking lot, which is peppered with local artists and shops selling everything from candles to clothes. Little Bitte’s set-up […]
This month’s recipe isn’t more complicated than previous ones, but it does require more steps. Don’t be intimidated, I’m here for you! My goal was to make something super summery and refreshing so I made a simple cantaloupe lassi, which I paired with white rum and velvet falernum. The name of my cocktail is Cantaloupe […]
After a long time apart, we’re ready to enjoy life with our friends and loved ones. And that means wine. Not just any wine, though. Every bottle should be a little special, to remind us all what we have. Here are a white, red and rosé to help you celebrate the summer. Each stars a […]
This month I took it upon myself to explore some local patios. I know, it’s very heroic of me, but I do it for you all! I’m not a Providence local and I’ve only been in the city since August 2020. I picked a really great time to move to a new city, once again, […]
For the theme of this month’s recipe, I decided to go with one of the unsung heroes of the liquor world — and there are a lot of them. Aquavit, for example, is one of my favorite rarely mentioned spirits. But as far as cocktails go, I’d have to say the Rum Old Fashioned is […]
Every Thursday through August 26, culture and cocktails will collide on the WaterFire Arts Center’s picturesque Rooftop Deck. The “TroopTop Deck” is the latest collaboration between WaterFire Arts Center and their neighbors at Troop, who will be bringing over much more than a cup of sugar. The weekly event is an exciting new opportunity for […]
Spring is a time for reinvention, and Narragansett Beer is welcoming change with an all-new brewery near India Point Park in Providence and a new head brewer to go along with it. Head brewer Lee Lord will grace the RI beer giant with her talents, coming off an impressive track record at Smuttynose Brewing Co., […]
I recently set to work researching CBD sparkling water, trying to find a high-quality product that would add not just bubbles to a cocktail, but flavor. And I found High Peaks, a hemp company out of South Carolina that makes everything from pet supplements to sleep-aids. I ordered a sample pack of their yummy sparkling […]
If it isn’t painfully obvious by my name, I am of Italian heritage. My Mastrostefano ancestors grew up in the heart of Federal Hill, even owning an Italian bakery where Roma sits nowadays. My grandfather Antimo was as Italian-American as they come, a hardworking landscaper who didn’t shy away from a drawn-out Italian meal on […]
