I love experimenting with the beverage side of recipes as much as I do with the food side of recipes. It’s cliche, but being from Wisconsin, you learn young to appreciate kicking back and relaxing with anything from a Miller High Life (it’s the Champaign of beers – thanks dad) to a fancy made cocktail…

Homemade Lemoncello
When I think of Lemoncello, I think Italy (never been) and all of the beautiful coastline towns that cliff the striking blue Mediterranean waters. Right now, that is where I would like to be – sipping lemoncello on a terrace covered with vines and lemons hanging off vines all around. I am a fan of…
