Cooks' Note

Cook's Notes:

Head to the farmers' market for peak-season fruit. Freeze the fruit in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid. Purée ingredients in a blender until smooth and very thick. Divide among glasses and serve.

Cold Facts:

The drier the ice, the better. Melting ice makes for a watery cocktail.

No need to upgrade your blender. The old one will do the trick just fine.

Texture Matters:

Frozen drinks should look too thick when poured into the glass. They will loosen immediately.

Recipe notes

Bicycle Bandit

A riff on the Bicycle Thief cocktail, a citrusy, low ABV riff on a Negroni, this three-ingredient, party-ready twist features grapefruit soda.

Mint Julep

A strip of lemon zest balances this refreshing spring classic.

Luscious Banana Pudding

Layer homemade custard, ripe bananas, and vanilla wafers under clouds of whipped cream for this iconic dessert.

Not-So-Secret Burger Sauce

Every sauce needs a few secrets. Ours is smoky, sweet, and savory—use it for burgers, fries, tenders, and more.

Fufu

Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.

Homemade Whipped Cream

Fluffier, fresher, and fancier than anything from a tub or can.

Grape Dumplings

Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.

Chocolate Pie

Reminiscent of a classic diner dessert, this chocolate cream pie offers pure comfort in a cookie crust.
