4 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
2 dashes green créme de menthe
Dash Angostura bitters
Maraschino cherry
A strip of lemon zest balances this refreshing spring classic.
Layer homemade custard, ripe bananas, and vanilla wafers under clouds of whipped cream for this iconic dessert.
Fluffier, fresher, and fancier than anything from a tub or can.
Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.
Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.
A glug of lemon-lime soda gives this pound cake a citrusy zip and tender crumb.
Sweet, savory, and way too easy to drink.
Yeasted pancakes mixed with saffron and cardamom (called chebab) are typical of Gulf countries, but I must confess I much prefer these lacy thin crepes.
