Boat House punch, party size recipe

-

Boat House Punch was created by cocktailier Julie Reiner from Clover Club and Flatiron Lounge of New York. This fizzy, citrus-packed concoction is pretty much summer in a punch bowl. First up: lemon oleo saccharum. Sounds fancy, right? But it’s just muddled lemon peels and sugar. Its like they are having a sweet little spa day until they release the oils and turn into syrupy gold. Easy peasy lemon squeezy… literally. Next, you’re pouring in dry gin (your sophisticated side), Aperol (bittersweet and bold), St-Germain (floral vibes), and a juicy trio of lemon, orange, and grapefruit. And just when you think it couldn’t get any dreamier, in comes the sparkling rosé for that flirty fizz that screams “celebration!” This isn’t your average overly-sweet mystery punch that leaves you rethinking your life choices.

I’ve just found something to brighten our morning—The Breakfast Cocktail.” A server appeared. Clara lowered the menu. “Please! Tell me everything about this cocktail.”   “Ah, the Breakfast Cocktail.

writers talking about writing and creativity, podcast

Its recording season for me. I've been busy chatting with writers, scholars, and some other writing community folks. Something I like about interviewing writers, each has a new and unique story to tell. We all put words on paper (or the screen) but we each do it differently.  I ask, what's the story behind the story, because I want to know what motivates people to write what they do. Sometimes poems turn into stories and scholarly research turns into a poem. Anything can happen. You can find my podcast, Washington Square OnAir, done under my "real" name, on Spotify and all the other podcast places .
