When you’re preparing drinks for a crowd, batching cocktails is always a great idea. While it’s great fun to make customized drinks for each of your guests, and that’s something you can and should attempt for smaller gatherings, with a larger group you won’t have time to individually mix drinks for each person. I find that it’s fun to make individual drinks for groups of five or six, but more than that becomes difficult and has you running around the kitchen all night.

We Just Learned How to Make Chick-fil-A's Fan-Favorite Frosted Lemonade and We're Going to Be Making it On Repeat All Summer Long

Brazilian lemonade is thought to have originated in Brazil by a street vendor. According to All Recipes, in Brazil, the drink is called limonada Suíça, which translates to Swiss lemonade. The beverage isn't Swiss, but the Swiss company, Nestlé, began selling condensed milk in Brazil in the 1900s, which could be where the drink got its name.

If you’re anything like us, one of your go-to happy places is likely a dark and moody gourmet steakhouse, complete with mustachio’d barkeeps and their impressive list of extravagant steak and bourbon pairings. If this is a scene that sounds familiar to you, you probably know a little something about dry-aged steaks. Until just recently, these incredible pieces of meat were only available in upscale steakhouses, very high-end grocers, and specialty butcheries. Thanks to the passage of time and whispers of praise, however, word eventually got out about how incredible dry-aged steaks are, and now they’re much more widely accessible online and even at some mid-level grocery stores.
