Toasted whiskeys are having a moment, as distilleries experiment with different methods for preparing the casks which their spirits age in. Toasting a barrel rather than charring it is a slower process that brings out more toasty flavors, and it is popular among bourbon producers looking for a way to make their creations stand out. Bourbon brand Elijah Craig already introduced a toasted bourbon in 2020, and it is now expanding its range to include a toasted rye whiskey as well.

While some may find vanilla ice cream boring, it’s classic for a reason. Vanilla is simple (in the very best way) and versatile enough to pair well with pretty much everything, adding an a la mode touch to desserts like pies, brownies, and cakes or taking breakfast staples such as pancakes and waffles to the next level. To elevate a standalone scoop or two, all you need are a few toppings—cookie crumbles, fresh fruit, candy pieces, hot fudge, or caramel can quickly get the job done.

The thing about ice cream is that eating it is never a bad idea. I’ve eaten ice cream to celebrate triumphs, and I’ve eaten ice cream to soften the sting of failure. No matter which occasion it accompanied, it was always cold, sweet, and right on time.

This gin fizz recipe is as complex-tasting as a simple cocktail can get. It’s made with only five ingredients and has a similar sweet-tart character to lemonade (especially when made with a citrus-forward gin). Adding egg whites gives the cocktail a nuanced consistency that makes it as velvety as a milkshake or an ice cream float. And because the cocktail is finished with effervescent club soda, it feels lighter than many other gin cocktails. It’s makes a great porch sipper, brunch cocktail or after-dinner treat.
