It was the drink order heard around the world. In Ian Fleming’s 1953’s novel Casino Royale, James Bond ordered what he would soon baptize the Vesper martini, named for his lover, the double agent Vesper Lynd. “Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large, thin slice of lemon peel.”

James Bond was just scratching the surface of mystifying martini scenarios. If you order or make a classic martini recipe, a series of questions arises before you can take that first sip: Shaken or stirred? Gin or vodka? Dry or wet? Dirty or not? With a lemon twist or olives?

There are two things that will please you about this lime sherbet recipe. One of them is related to the number five, the other is related to the number 10. The five is the small number of ingredients that go into this real lime sherbet, and the 10 is about how many minutes of hands-on work its preparation requires.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Whereas the clunky plastic options of yore kept their chill for just a few hours, sleek modern coolers (like Yeti coolers) retain their icy contents for days at a time. This is especially important for camping trips or long hours on the beach. Warm sand feels great between the toes, but it doesn’t bode well for keeping non-alcoholic beers and probiotic sodas ice cold. That said, contemporary coolers have one main failing: chilling food without creating a soggy mess. Luckily, the Ninja FrostVault Cooler solves this problem by offering additional features for those who want to take along a few snacks, too.

This avocado burger is a symphony of creamy, refreshing and juicy bites. The patties burst with vibrant flavors as we blend avocado and aromatic spices into the ground beef. Instead of the usual American or cheddar cheese, we pair the toasted brioche buns with rich and tangy avocado crema, creating a bright and delicious depth.

Keeping your drink of choice cool during the summer is a priority during parties (ice-cold probiotic sodas, anyone?). However, in my opinion, the best stress test for a cooler is a multi-day camping excursion. For folks like me who enjoy trekking into the backwoods with little more than a cooler, a tent and a select few essentials, it’s imperative that any perishables stay chilly for days on end. I can say from personal experience that there’s nothing more disappointing than opening up your pricey cooler on day three of a trip only to find a few pieces of ice floating in a pool of lukewarm water. Enter: the Orca cooler.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

When it comes to easy-to-prepare, delicious seafood, it's hard to beat shrimp. The crustaceans' flavor is mild, containing a pleasant sweetness accompanied by just a touch of fishiness. So as long as you don't under season — one of the main shrimp cooking mistakes to avoid — you'll be rewarded with a tasty result. And especially for grilled shrimps, one of the best ways to enhance flavor is with a sauce. You'll have so many classic seafood sauce styles to choose from: think a classic soft and decadent butter-baste, a tangy spritz of citrus, or a dollop of spicy peppery-goodness. Feeling indecisive about the exact kind of flavor vibe? Put it all together, and craft a spicy lemon garlic butter sauce.
