Blueberry Lemon Green Tea

It’s springtime!! I’m so excited for the 50’s to consistently be here. The rain comes & goes & it’s just positively lovely. I so love North Idaho – if you have never been up this way- I strongly encourage you to come see it for yourself.

So anyhow- I was really craving a light & refreshing drink. Something that I could have through spring & summer & that is something the whole family could enjoy. I love drinking green tea – but I wanted something a little different. Green tea is so good for you I so I like to find new ways to enjoy it. I came up with this Blueberry Lemon Green Tea that fit everything I was looking for. It has the perfect bit of lemon & the blueberries just gave me a smile.

This is the perfect drink to enjoy while dining al fresco on a sunny afternoon.

Simple Lemon Syrup

By Kleinworth & Co 10 Comments

Spring, Spring, Spring. What does it make you think of?? For me – lemons come to mind when I think of spring. That gorgeous yellow- that fresh flavor. That zing! It’s that time – so I decided to make up some Simple Lemon Syrup to keep on hand. It’s great for mixed drinks like a Lemon Drop Martini or just mixed in some iced tea. It can also be used in recipes for baked goods or really anything you would want to add a little sweet lemon flavor to. I love this syrup for it’s versatility & it’s incredibly fresh lemon flavor. It’s something that I will make again & again all through summer. Definitely a staple in my fridge during the warmer months.

Love that soft yellow color. Makes me smile.

This really is super yummy mixed in to so many things.

Blackberry Irish Whiskey Sour

By Kleinworth & Co 7 Comments

Yay!! Happy March!!! So excited as that means it’s almost St. Patty’s Day.

Years & years ago (long before we met) the hubs went to bar-tending school. He was super young & thought it would be good information to know. Don’t all 20-something dudes think that way?! Well – he was right, it is great knowledge to have (especially if your wife likes to blog about food & drinks). I was able to tap that inner bartender & have him help me create some great cocktails for St. Patrick’s Day. We already had some blackberry brandy we had made – so I was looking for a concoction to use it in. This Blackberry Irish Whiskey Sour was the perfect beverage to not only utilize some of that brandy but add a little Irish celebration in there too.

Add a little twist of lemon & a blackberry – perfect garnish.

So simple to make & you can wow your friends with this great Irish drink.

Delicious whiskey sour cocktail recipe twisted with blackberry that is so refreshing!!! Perfect for celebrating St. Patrick's Day & beyond!

Honey Irish Cream ~ Homemade Liqueur

By Kleinworth & Co 11 Comments

It’s almost March! Can you believe that?! I’m itching for spring – probably because it’s still below freezing outside. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not getting in the St. Patty’s Day mood around here. I love celebrating the Luck of the Irish with food & drinks & fun. I decided that after years of putting it off – I would make my own homemade Irish Cream liqueur. I have been on a homemade liquor kick this year – so this was the perfect time – only I gave it one tiny twist.

I decided to use Bushmills Irish Honey Whiskey in this recipe instead of regular whiskey.

It changes the flavor from your traditional Irish Cream – but still great.

Oh my – I’m really looking forward to using this in some upcoming recipes. Stay tuned for those.

Ultimate Chocolate Milkshake

By Kleinworth & Co 7 Comments

Even though we have changed a few things with how we eat during the week- that doesn’t mean that I have given up sweet treats altogether. You all know that I love to indulge & that won’t change too much – especially on the weekends. We are hitting the gym enough times during the week that I can justify a little something yummy when I want it. I definitely believe that if you’re going to be bad- you have to do it right. So when I made this Ultimate Chocolate Milkshake – I went all out. It is truly the best milkshake I have ever had.

Oh my word – I’m telling you – worth every second on the treadmill.

Perfect way to use up some of these bags & bags of M&M’s I have filling my cabinet. 🙂

Print Recipe

Ultimate Chocolate Milkshake

Ingredients

1 large scoop vanilla ice cream
1-1/2 large scoops chocolate ice cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate milk
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 cup M&M's - flavor of choice
Whip cream for topping - optional

Instructions

Place all ingredients in blender & blend until M&M's are chopped & well incorporated into a nice thick milkshake consistency.
There will be bits & pieces of the M&M's throughout.
If you like yours thinner- just add a little more chocolate milk
Top with whipped cream
Enjoy immediately

Frozen Colada

By Kleinworth & Co 6 Comments

I know it’s been a very cold & harsh winter so far for most. Are you craving the warm weather? How about someplace tropical? I know, I know- I’m sooooo itching for a trip home to the beach. It has been way too long since I have buried my toes in the sand & soaked up the salty air. But with all we have happening at the moment – my plans to get home again in March have petered out. Looks like even with the best of intentions plans sometimes have to be put off. So since I won’t get to the beach any time soon- I decided to create a little hint of paradise in a glass to hold me over a little bit longer.

Frozen Colada

Ohhhhh- I made this sans the rum. I wanted to be able to share with the kids.

Oh good heavens- I would drink these ALL DAY LONG. So stinkin’ good.

The vanilla ice cream is the perfect addition to my favorite flavor combo of pineapple & coconut.

Print Recipe

Frozen Colada

Ingredients

3 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup cream of coconut
1 cup ice
1 ounce white coconut rum *optional

Instructions

Place all ingredients in blender & blend on high for a full 1-2 minutes- or until the consistency is similar to a milkshake.
Pour into glasses & garnish with pineapple wedge.

It’s so simple & quick – but oh sooooooo delish!

This made enough for these 2 glasses shown. If preparing for a party – you may want to quadruple this recipe.

Chocolate Marshmallow Iced Coffee ~ #TruMoo

By Kleinworth & Co 10 Comments

*Disclosure: Sponsored Post- I have been compensated for this post either monetarily or with product. All opinions are truthful & my own.

Oh do I have a treat for you?? Do you love Iced Coffee?? I soooo do & so does my hubs. One thing we love to do is make a couple glasses of iced coffee in the afternoons & just sit in our retreat & chat a little. We close the door & tune out the noise of the day. We talk about things that are happening- major life events, plans for the day, plans for the things coming up in the week & the all important dreams for the future. These often include things like “hey- we will be going to the Ortho this week” & bigger topics like “What color shades were you thinking of for the walls in the new house?” But the key here is- our discussions always involve us enjoying these moments together while sharing something tasty. My standard iced coffee recipe was kicked up to a whole new level of YUM when I had the chance to try TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow. SO I created the ultimate beverage.

Chocolate Marshmallow Iced Coffee

Perfect to share with your sweetie for Valentine’s Day!!

This drink is so simple to make- BECAUSE I used TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow Milk. Using chocolate milk for this beverage would have already made a traditional iced coffee really tasty. But to use the TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow flavor- OMG!!! So Good! I have a deep love & affection for marshmallow flavored anything so this really truly makes me happy. TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow will be available through February & Chocolate and Vanilla milks are available year-round. I sure hope they decide to make the Chocolate Marshmallow year round too – I may be really sad when I can’t get it anymore.

Those that TRULY LOVE Chocolate Milk!

Some facts about TruMoo

TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow milk is made with fresh white milk sourced from regional dairies around the country – pure cocoa and just enough natural sugar to make it taste great.

Nutritious and Delicious!

TruMoo Milk contains no artificial growth hormones and no high fructose corn syrup. This is a HUGE thing for me. This means that I don’t have to purchase unpasteurized milk from the local farmer if I want to get away from additives in the milk I serve my family. Incredibly important to me & I am so happy to have this option.

Enjoy TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow hot or cold!

Try it as an ingredient in your favorite mocktail. Enjoy it hot and you have yourself a s’more!

It’s available in the dairy section at grocery stores nationwide through the month of February.

I picked mine up at Target.

Homemade Sipping Brandy

By Kleinworth & Co 7 Comments

Remember back in September when I originally shared with you my recipe for making Homemade Liquors? Well I had originally planned on finishing up those liquors & bottling them for holiday gifts. I didn’t really get around to doing that but I still needed to do something with what I had already started. So I searched out for some really great little swing top bottles & the got to work getting them all filled with our Homemade Brandy.

Homemade Sipping Brandy

These turned out EXACTLY like my mother-in-law used to make. I was so pleased when the hubs told me that I was able to re-create what she would make as it brought back so many great memories for him.

I just love the colors when the light shines through them.

Here is what we started with & what it looks like at the beginning of the process.

The Best Green Juice

By Kleinworth & Co 6 Comments

I want you to met someone special today. Kendra is the owner & creator of Key Lime Digital Designs. She is a fellow contributor for SNAP! & all around creative genius. Her blog designs are gorgeous & her creativity is incredibly inspiring. Today I have the honor of having her here today sharing this recipe that is sure to kick off my 2014 in the right direction.

The Best Green Juice

Hi! My name is Kendra from Key Lime Digital Designs. I am very excited to be here today sharing with you! Typically on my blog I only post about blog design, blogging tips, and fonts (I’m sort of a font-aholic) but today I am excited to take this chance to share something totally different and non computer-ish! Enter the Green Machine.

This juice is so refreshing and delicious. If you have any New Years health resolutions you are going to love this juice!

You might be a little skeptic about the kale. I promise the bitterness of the Kale is covered up by the oranges. The oranges are the sneaky, not so green, ingredient. They add sweetness to the juice that make it so yummy!

Let’s talk about juicing in general for a min. There are a lot of opinion on juicing. Here’s mine … Can juicing be expensive? Yes. Should you juice all the time for your sole nutrients? Hmm, probably not. Does juicing actually taste good? Yes, it can! And this green juice recipe is my favorite. All time favorite. Can juicing be refreshing and a good way to reset your system? Absolutely!

I have used this green juice after I had both of my babies to help get rid of that extra baby weight. When I decide to “juice” I typically juice for 3-4 days – drinking this green machine for breakfast and lunch and then eating a sensible dinner.

You are gonna love this because you will feel so refreshed and energetic after you drink this! Get your juicers out pronto!

The Best Green Juice

Ingredients

2 Huge handfuls of kale
2 Huge handfuls of spinach
1 Cucumber
2 Granny smith apples
1 Large orange

Instructions

Twist the stems off the apples and cut them in half.
Peel the oranges.
Thrown everything in the juicer.
Mix the juice and enjoy! (And don't be to picky about the amounts listed above. Give a little take a little.)

Notes: The amount of juice this produces can vary based on your produce but typically I find it makes about 36-40oz. You can refrigerate the juice for 2-3 days in an airtight container. Shake well before drinking.[br][br]If you feel like your juice is still a little bitter, just add another orange.

-Kendra

I am a wife and mom of 2 energetic kids!

My family keeps me busy but I also love to blog, create in photoshop, collect fonts, oh and eat cookie dough 🙂

Sparkling Cider New Year’s Eve Mocktails

By Kleinworth & Co 2 Comments

Are you ready for a special treat?? Are you planning your New Years Eve celebrations?? Today my friend Jessica from One Martini at a Time (who is my “go-to” gal for beverages) is sharing a FABULOUS recipe that will take care of your party beverage planning. I have known Jessica for a long time. We bonded through both being residents of Nevada at the time & that we both homeschool. We worked together in my Photography Workshop. We also share a love for creating beverages & sharing them in our own little spaces – which is so much fun. If you are looking for any type of drink recipe- Jessica has you covered. Please give her a nice warm welcome & check out this YUMMY New Year’s Eve Recipe.

Sparkling Cider New Year’s Eve Mocktails

On holidays and special occasions my kids like to have something fancy to drink. Normally I serve them regular sparkling cider but they insist that’s no longer fun. So, this year I came up with these Sparkling Cider New Year’s Eve Mocktails for them. They are a kid-friendly version of a cava cocktail with vodka that I created for adults who are toasting the New Year.

I went with Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple-Pomegranate Cider for the bubbles because it’s one of my kids’ favorite flavors. However, the Sparking Apple-Peach or the regular Sparkling Apple Cider will also work in these mocktails. I found that my kids didn’t like as much fresh squeezed lime as I do in my cocktails. I bumped that back a little, but you can adjust according to what your kids like the best.

Enjoy your New Year’s Eve celebration with the family and cheers to a good year!

Print Recipe

Sparkling Cider New Year’s Eve Mocktails

Ingredients

Serves 2
2 ounces passion fruit juice
½ ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
Sparkling cider of your choice
Optional: pomegranate seeds for garnish

Instructions

Add 1 ounce of passion fruit juice and ¼ ounce fresh squeezed lime juice into two kid friendly glasses.
Top with sparkling cider and garnish with pomegranate seeds if using.

Jessica Torres is the chief cocktail creator at One Martini. When not taste testing new spirits or shaking up cocktails, she can be found working on her food and drink photography, reading books about booze or attempting to nap. She can also be found at allParenting, Savvy Sassy Moms and on Facebook where she overshares cocktails recipes.

Homemade Kahlua

By Kleinworth & Co 19 Comments

Hi there! Did you all have a wonderful Christmas? I sure hope it was joyful!

I shared this recipe a couple weeks ago over at Reasons to Skip the Housework but I wanted to be sure you all saw it here as well. As you all know I love coffee like so many people out there. I try to find ways to add the flavor of coffee to my recipes as much as possible. It adds such a rich, bold flavor to everything from desserts to meats. Where we live in Idaho it’s a little inconvenient to find things like Kahlua. So when I needed some Kahlua for a recipe I decided to make my own. Now I will always be able to have some on hand for any recipe I’m working on.

Homemade Kahlua

This tastes really great even before adding the alcohol. So if you are looking for the flavor in your recipe but don’t plan on cooking out the alcohol & want it “virgin” style- you can omit the vodka at the end.

Print Recipe

5 from 1 vote

Homemade Kahlua

Ingredients

1-1/4 cup water
3/4 cup strong brewed coffee
3/4 cup instant coffee crystals
2-1/4 cups good quality Vodka we use Stoli or Grey Goose
4 cups granulated sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Mix water, coffee, instant coffee & sugar in stock pot.
Heat & stir over medium - high heat until coffee & sugar is dissolved.
It will resemble a thick syrup.
Cool to room temperature.
Stir in Vodka & vanilla. (if omitting vodka- just add vanilla at this point)
Pour into glass bottles, jars or storage containers.
Store at room temperature in pantry.

Notes

Don't worry about the foam that will surface at the top during the cooking. That is normal. It is just the coffee and sugar reaction from cooking it in this way. Just skim it off before transferring it into the bottles.

That’s it! Super simple & it makes a great gift too.

Gingered Cider Hot Toddie

By Kleinworth & Co 13 Comments

Does a warm Hot Toddie sound good right about now?? I know that when it gets chilly outside I like to have a warm beverage all day long. Most times it’s coffee, but sometimes I don’t want so much caffeine as it gets later in the day. So I switch to tea of some sort. I like to make a non alcoholic hot toddie to warm me up. I decided to see what sort of twist I could make on my usual tea & came up with something you will love to serve your guests this holiday season.

Gingered Cider Hot Toddie

Making this with cider instead of water really gives it a wonderful rich flavor.

Print Recipe

Gingered Cider Hot Toddie

Ingredients

Recipe is per mug

2 cups apple cider- warmed
1 bag of tea flavor of choice
1 tbsp honey
1/8 tsp ginger
1 slice of lemon
1 cinnamon stick
1 shot Brandy Whiskey, Rum of Bourbon **Optional

Instructions

Warm your cider in your mug
Steep your tea bag in cider for 3-5 minutes
Add in honey & ginger & stir with your cinnamon stick
Leave cinnamon stick in mug
Add shot of desired spirits (optional)
Top with lemon slice

I love that I can have this at any time of day without the shot of spirits. It’s also a great beverage to serve to guests during holiday entertaining.

Very festive & since the spirits are optional- everyone can enjoy it.

Mulled Wine Spice Mix

By Kleinworth & Co Leave a Comment

Mulled Wine Spice Mix not only makes for a warm and inviting way to get cozy on a chilly night. But it’s great for gift-giving to neighbors as well as using in a simmer pot on the woodstove too.

With the chill of winter setting in, isn’t there something absolutely magical about curling up with a warm mug filled with a spicy, aromatic beverage? The steam rising from a ruby-red liquid, hints of citrus swirling with whole spices, every sip a warm embrace.

Not only is the flavor amazing, but the aroma that will fill your home as you mull that wine is simply wonderful. That’s the magic of a mulled wine, and today, I’m sharing my super special Mulled Wine Spice Mix with you!

Creamy Watermelon Lime Chiller

By Kleinworth & Co Leave a Comment

Welcome to Project 52- week 29

Wow- hard to believe that we are more than half way through July. I am seeing more & more people pinning Christmas things. I know!!! Part of me wants to start planning & then the other part of me feels overwhelmed because I have all these other months to think about first. If I plan out too many at once- I’m going to burn out I think. So I think I will be focusing week by week & see how far I go. At the moment the munchkin has a birthday coming up- fairly soon. So I need to really start planning for that & doing things to prepare. So if you are wondering what I am up to when I am not in the office much this week- that is it.

As part of that prep for munchkin’s birthday- I have been playing with creating drinks.

She loves pink so this Creamy Watermelon Lime Chiller was a top pick.

Plus all this drink creation gave me the chance to play with these straw flags from Life n Reflection.

As part of being on the design team for Kristy- I was given this Spring party Set.

Since it’s not spring anymore- I focused on the flags. I can use them all year long- which is awesome!

You can pick up the set HERE.

As I mentioned yesterday in my Scavenger Hunt post- we spent part of the weekend at one of the stations having a cleaning party & BBQ afterwards. So I didn’t get too many personal photos- most of them are for the FD. I was happy to be able to capture these drinks & share them with you. We all loved them & apparently so do the yellow jackets. The stinging/flying things around here are in abundance & poor Mini-Me not only got stung on her eyelid (what are the chances??) during our Bayview Days celebration but then again on her leg this past week. Sooooooo- I’m not all that thrilled about that. I AM however happy that we found out she’s not allergic.

So do you want the recipe??

Print Recipe

Creamy Watermelon Lime Chiller

Ingredients

2 C watermelon- cubed
1-1/2 C simple syrup
1/2 C whipped cream
1/2 a lime - juiced

Instructions

Blend all ingredients until smooth & well combined.
Serve immediately.

Now share what you have been up to!!

Coco Piña Colada

By Kleinworth & Co 1 Comment

One thing about me- I’m crazy for all things coconut. I love coconut flavored treats, the smell of coconut & especially the smell of sunscreen when it has that coconut scent. I can’t get enough. It takes me home & reminds me of the days of spending my summers with my aunt & cousins either playing by the pool or loading the surfboards in the back of the VW & enjoying the beaches of So Cal. Cherished memories that all come flooding back with every hint of coconut. So it’s no surprise that I use it in a lot of recipes- Piña Colada is no exception. Only this time I had to add even more coconut to amp it up a bit. 🙂

Coco Piña Colada

Print Recipe

Coco Piña Colada Mocktail/Cocktail

Ingredients

2 cups Pineapple Juice
1 cup chunk pineapple + more for topping
6 oz cream of coconut
splash lime juice
1/3 cup sweetened coconut + more for topping
1-1/2 cup ice
1 oz clear rum if desired
*I like my drinks the kid friendly way- so we made this without the rum & then those that like it added it after we poured everyone else's)

Instructions

Add all ingredients to blender & pulse until ice & pineapple chunks are the desired consistency that you are after- should be thin enough to go smoothly through a straw.
Pour into serving glasses & top with additional coconut & pineapple.

This was really yummy & really took me back home. I could drink these all day- everyday.

With 4th of July right around the corner… don’t miss these other summer drinks too.
