Sweet & Spicy Golden Beet Shrub Cocktail

July 8, 2016 by Brett Youmans 3 Comments

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer

June 11, 2016 by Brett Youmans 1 Comment

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

  Y'all know I love using herbs and aromatics in cocktails and mocktails and drinks of all kinds right?  I guess it’s in my garden-to-table DNA.  Remember the Classy Clementine and the Blueberry Bramble Cocktails?  Or that Rosemary Lemonade I made … [Read more...]

Summer Berry Sparkling Sangria

August 28, 2015 by Brett Youmans 2 Comments

A wine based cocktail from Spain and Portugal, the makeup of this fruity drink varies greatly. Sangria almost always contains fresh fruit, vodka or brandy, and a sweetener ranging from orange juice to honey. With such a wide range of possibilities, I set off to make a lighter version containing fresh summer berries that I’ve been enjoying from this year’s garden. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Sangria. saŋˈɡriːə saŋ-ˈgrē-ə San-GREE-a! Have you tried it?  However you say it, put this on your end of summer to-do list. A wine based cocktail from Spain and Portugal, the makeup of this fruity drink varies greatly.  Sangria … [Read more...]

Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
