Boozy Italian Coffee Infused with Chocolate Whipped Cream
So, say I was *actually* mouse-sized. (I’m not saying that I’m NOT, just imagine if I were.) This would be the best hot tub ever.
3 Warm & Toasty Fall Cocktails
With fall well underway, Cocktail Season is in full effect here at The Mouse House. Here are three of our favorite fall drinks—guaranteed to knock that seasonal chill right off.
Apple Pie in a Glass
I’d like to introduce you to my new favorite milkshake. I can’t take credit for this idea. It’s my version of the Apple Cider Milkshake I had at the Ben & Jerry’s in Salem the other day, while I was waiting for The Angry Chef to pick me up on a rainy day.
Blooming Champagne Cocktail with Wild Hibiscus
This is one of the prettiest cocktails you can imagine. Drop a hibiscus flower that’s been preserved in syrup into the bottom of a champagne flute. Fill with your favorite bubbly. As the champagne happily fizzes away, the hibiscus flower will open up and bloom in your glass. The cocktail is ridiculously delightful and a [...]
Guinness Recipes for St. Patrick’s Day
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Boston! Now, cans of Guinness stout will never replace a properly pulled pint in a cozy Irish pub, but we home-bound revelers make do with what we have.
We go through a fair amount of Guinness here at The Mouse House—both for drinking and cooking. Here’s a handful of my favorite [...]
A Local’s Guide to Boston Irish Pubs & Bars
Ah, Boston. So many pubs. So little time. Especially around St. Patrick’s day.
Boston is home to some of the oldest taverns in the nation. I’ve lived here for about 15 years now. The Angry Chef has lived in the city his entire life, and knows more than a handful of pub owners.
Sadly, a bunch of [...]
Homemade Irish Cream Liqueur
I learned to cook from my mom, who works a certain kind of magic in the kitchen. Of all the things I’ve learned from her, how to make homemade Irish cream liqueur may not be one of the most practical—but it is one of my favorites.
The short version of this recipe is: Add all ingredients [...]
Oreo & Irish-Cream Milkshake
OK, I have no excuses for this one. It’s evil—and oh-so-delicious.
It’s rich. It’s creamy. It’s packed with crushed Oreo cookies and laced with booze. It’s one part dessert and one part cocktail. (And kind of ridiculous. I can admit that.) It’s also one of my favorite treats.
One drink. Two straws.
Make one and share it with [...]
Two Chocolate-y Valentine’s Treats: Candy & Cocktails, Oh My!
Valentine’s Day is approaching. Love it or hate it, it’s a fabulous excuse to indulge in a few sweets. Here are recipes for two devilishly delightful chocolate-y treats.
Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Hearts
(Peanut-butter cup and pretzel sandwiches dipped in a lavish amount of chocolate)
Chocolate Cherry Kiss Cocktail
(Created especially for my friend Bunny, this potent and creamy drink [...]
Blood Orange Cocktail
Um, yum! Seriously? The blood orange has to be one of the loveliest fruits on the planet.
And in typical Mouse-House style, we found a way to enjoy it in one of our very favorite ways—in cocktail form.
This drink is sweet, but not too sweet. It’s fresh and juicy—and gets an extra bump of orange-y flavor [...]
