  • Strawberry Milk Powder

    A way to add creaminess, body and a light strawberry flavor to a cocktail.  It is important to use a whipping machine like a frother or a blender in order to emulsify the powder into the cocktail reducing the chances of the cocktail "breaking".  Store bought version will be sweeter, so an adjustment to additional syrups will need to be made.  

    To make Strawberry Milk Powder: 

    .25 Cup Toasted Coconut Milk Powder 

    .25 Cup Coconut Milk Powder 

    .25 Cup Granulated Sugar 

    .125 Cup Powdered Strawberry 

    1 tsp Salt 

    Combine in a jar and stir to combine.  Seal jar and store in a cool, dry place.

  • Half and Half

    10.5% - 18% fat 

    Half and half is an equal parts mixture of cream and milk.  Now, there are great non-dairy options in the market.  

    Coconut milk is an excellent substitute.

    Price Category: $

  • Strawberry Simple Syrup

    Made by macerating equal parts clean, fresh strawberries with sugar.  For a more concentrated flavor, slice or dice freshly picked strawberries.  

    To Make Strawberry Saccharum: 

    100 g Fresh, clean strawberries 

    100 g Granulated Cane Sugar 

    Combine Strawberries and Sugar in a jar and gently stir.  Allow to sit in a cool, dry place for 24-48 hours until  the strawberries have rendered their liquid and flavor.  Strain into a syrup bottle.   

    For a Rich Strawberry Syrup: 

    Place Strawberry Saccharum along with half of the macerated strawberries in a sauce pan on medium heat.  Mash the strawberries while the syrup comes to a soft boil, reduce the heat to keep the syrup simmering, but not boiling until the liquid reduces by half.  Allow to cool, pour into a syrup bottle and store in the refrigerator.

A Christmas Story

Set in the 1940s, A Christmas Story follows young Ralphie Parker as he navigates schoolyard adventures, family traditions, and his single-minded quest for the perfect Christmas gift: a Red Ryder BB gun. Despite repeated warnings that he’ll “shoot his eye out,” Ralphie remains determined, devising increasingly creative ways to convince the adults in his life that he’s ready. Along the way, he endures bullies, embarrassing mishaps, and the everyday chaos of life with his colorful parents and younger brother. Narrated with warmth and humor, the film captures the timeless joys and frustrations of childhood during the holiday season. In the end, Ralphie discovers that the memories made with family are every bit as special as the presents waiting under the tree.
