Lush Life
To be a lush chef, does not mean to drink in excess - this can result in scary fires and bad dishes. A lush chef is one who enjoys gourmet cooking/baking, often with fresh ingredients and the smart use of one's home bar. If there happens to be half a bottle of beer, a glass of wine, or a sip of brandy left over...well, one cannot be wasteful. I give you permission to imbibe.

Elder Fashioned
1:00 PM
I love my Old Fashioneds and they're still my favorite cocktail. There are so many tiny variations that you can make to always keep this libation fun and fresh. I had made some lemon bitters and was itching to use them in an Old Fashioned. The slightly sweet, floral flavor of St. Germain pairs nicely with the lemon and is a perfect way to update this drink for the summer.
