The long weekend is about to start. I’m very excited about that. It’s not that we have anything planned, but it’s nice to have an extra day to relax. We may drive to an area, find something good to eat, and walk around a little bit. That is my ideal kind of holidays. What is your plan this weekend?

Recently, I met up with Bonnie from Thirsty For Tea. We haven’t seen each other since Bryan and I left for San Jose in 2019. Even though we moved back for a while, the pandemic sure have stopped everything. It was very nice to catch up. She knew that we like making cocktails at home, so she gave me a bottle of ginger liqueur. I actually have never tried it before. It’s a little sweet with a bit of ginger kick. It would perfect in cocktails.

It’s September, which also means stone fruit season is coming to an end soon. To celebrate them one last time, I decided to use peaches for the cocktail. I made some homemade peach nectar. Sounds crazy, but not hard at all. Blend the peaches and strain them. Then combine the peach juice with sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Chill them in the fridge overnight. That’s it! But if peaches are no longer in season or you don’t have time to make your own nectar, use store-bought ones.

Peach nectar, ginger liqueur, bourbon whiskey and fresh mint. Definitely scream summer to me! When you’re making the cocktail, make sure to shake really well, so everything is chilled and cold when done. The cocktail tastes fantastic. There’s the sweetness from peaches, the kick from ginger liqueur, the oakiness from bourbon & the freshness from mint. It all works together. It’s a little sweet, which makes it easy to drink. I can imagine this cocktail would be great with a grilling dinner.

Cheers! Have a relaxing Labor Day weekend!

Ingredients

  • 3 medium fresh mint leaves
  • 2 ounces bourbon whiskey
  • ½ ounce ginger liqueur
  • 2½ ounces homemade peach nectar (or store-bought)
  • 15 ice cubes
  • 5 ounces club soda
  • Peach slices (optional for garnish)
  • Mint sprig (optional for garnish)

Homemade peach nectar:

  • 4 fresh peaches
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¾ cup water
  • 6 – 8 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  • A day ahead, make the peach nectar. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Fill a medium bowl with water and add the ice cubes. With a sharp knife, lightly score an “X” at the bottom of each peach. In 2 batches, put the peaches in the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Submerge the cooked peaches in the iced water for 1 minute. Pat dry and peel. If needed, use a vegetable peeler. Cut the peaches into large slices and remove the pits. Place the peaches in a medium nonreactive bowl, and toss with lemon juice.
  • Add the peaches and juice to a blender. Add ¾ cup water. Blend until pretty smooth. Pour the peach juice into fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Use a large spoon to scrape the strainer multiple times, so the juice can pass through. Discard the pulp of the peaches.
  • Transfer the juice to a medium sauce pan. Add sugar. Bring to a boil and until the sugar has melted. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pour into airtight container and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
  • To make the cocktail, tear the mint leaves with hands and put into a cocktail shaker. Muddle a few times. Add bourbon whiskey, ginger liqueur, peach nectar and 10 ice cubes. Close the shaker and shake vigorously.
  • In a glass cup, add 4 – 5 ice cubes. Strain the cocktail into the cup. Add club soda. Give a quick stir. Garnish with peaches and mint sprig. Serve.

Notes

  1. For the alcohol, I used Four Roses Small Batch and Domaine De Canton Ginger Liqueur. They can be easily found in liqueur stores.
  2. It’s best to make the peach nectar a day ahead, so it has time to chill in the fridge. The nectar can be kept for a few days in the fridge. The nectar recipe makes a little more than 2 cups of nectar, which is enough to make at least 6 servings of this cocktail.
  3. If you don’t want to make your own peach nectar, you can get a store-bought one in the juice aisle in local supermarkets.

York is a charming little city filled w/ history. York is a charming little city filled w/ history. Romans, Saxons & the Vikings were all here at one point. I love walking through The Shambles. Narrow street w/ timber-framed buildings & cobblestone road. It felt like we went back in time. It resembled Diagon Alley in Harry Potter too!

Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Michelle & James took us to their favorite local pub. Nice & cozy. I think I understand a bit more why British loves pubs. It’s a really comfortable hang out place. The food was incredible! We both got the roast beef sirloin. It came w/ a giant Yorkshire pudding & lots of flavored roasted veggies. Sticky toffee pudding was perfect! There is no better way to start our Great Britain trip.

We’re getting some crazy winter weather. It’s We’re getting some crazy winter weather. It’s cold, rainy & even hailing. Craving for something comforting, then I’m reminded of this Hong Kong Style Macaroni Soup w/ Ham. Light chicken broth w/ macaroni & ham. Ready in under 20 minutes. Brings me right back to Hong Kong!🍲

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. I was inspired by our recent Maine trip to create these. Moist chocolatey cake rounds filled w/ a slightly tart strawberry buttercream & a hint of rose. They’re fun little treat for Valentine’s Day. Btw, these are freezer friendly too. Keep a few at room temp, & freeze the rest. There’ll be plenty of desserts in the coming month.😉

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆

2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much bette 2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much better year for me personally. We traveled a bit more (Denver, Monterey, Maine, & Boston) & ate lots of incredible food. I’m drooling just thinking about some of the food. Also, my parents flew in from HK. We finally got to see each other after 3 years. We spent time together & attended my sister’s wedding. And we all finally got covid. It’s looking like things are getting back to normal. I truly hope it is!
