Pink Gin cocktail Recipe

by Hannah
written by Hannah

Pink gin has become a popular choice among cocktail lovers for its unique taste and eye-catching color. It mixes traditional gin with botanicals, making it appealing to everyone, from casual drinkers to those with a refined taste.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces of gin

  • 3-4 dashes of Angostura bitters

  • Ice

  • Lemon twist or cherry for garnish (optional)

Instruction

  1. Start by chilling your cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the rest of the drink.

  2. Add the gin to a mixing glass or shaker filled with ice.

  3. Add the Angostura bitters directly into the gin. The bitters will give the drink a pink hue and a slightly spicy, aromatic flavour.

  4. Stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds, allowing the ingredients to chill and combine.

  5. Discard the ice water from your cocktail glass, and strain the gin and bitters mixture into the chilled glass.

  6. Garnish with a lemon twist or a cherry if desired.

Candied Hazelnuts

by Hannah
written by Hannah

Candied hazelnuts are a delightful treat that can add a sweet, nutty crunch to a variety of dishes or be enjoyed on their own. Here’s a simple recipe to make them at home:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup hazelnuts

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are fragrant and the skins start to crack. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before rubbing them in a clean kitchen towel to remove most of the skins.
  • Prepare the Sugar Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and salt. If you’re using vanilla extract or cinnamon, add them now. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a simmer.
  • Add the toasted hazelnuts to the saucepan and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar mixture thickens and coats the hazelnuts (about 5-7 minutes). The hazelnuts should be glossy and evenly coated.
  • Spread the candied hazelnuts onto a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to cool. Once they are completely cool, break apart any clusters and store them in an airtight container.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins Recipe

by Hannah
written by Hannah

Treat yourself to the ultimate mix of chocolate and peanut butter with this irresistible muffin recipe.  These muffins are guaranteed to hit the spot for your sweet cravings.

Ingredients:

Dry:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter

Chocolate Chips (Optional):

  • 1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix!

Optional Chocolate Chips: If using, fold the chocolate chips into the batter.

Peanut Butter Swirl: Divide half of the batter among the muffin cups. Dollop a heaping teaspoon of peanut butter on top of each muffin cup. Use a toothpick to swirl the peanut butter gently into the batter. Top each muffin with the remaining batter.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

For a richer peanut butter flavour, use half creamy and half chunky peanut butter.

If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.

Want to make them healthier? Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and reduce the sugar by ½ cup.

Muffins can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
