I’m old enough to remember a time when ordering an espresso martini would have seemed like a joke. A few years back, I was a bartender in a touristy seafood restaurant in San Francisco, shamefully shaking up what I deemed the tackiest cocktails imaginable for a clientele unworthy of such a mixologist as myself. I made plenty of lemon drops and certainly my fair share of cosmos—but I probably only whipped up enough espresso martinis to count on one hand.

In creating what has become known as the Bellini cocktail in 1948, Giuseppe Cipriani was inspired by a painter, the fifteenth century Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini. Peaches were in abundance throughout Italy from June through September, and he had a predilection for the white ones. So much so, in fact, that he kept wondering whether there was a way to transform this magic fragrance into a drink he could offer at Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy.

Few things are better than eating a ripe peach and it’s a fruit that can be used in pies, cobblers or cake, but it’s also the perfect pairing for a beverage, especially one for brunch. That was the inspiration behind our Juicy Peach Bellinis recipe.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
