Earlier this week I made a jar of pickled cherries and loved them. They are good on cheese platters and good in salads, but they […]

It would be a great understatement to call things “stressful” right now, and stress can lead to anxiety, which – for some of us – […]

Hi guys from the 90s. Last night as I was doing my weekly grocery run, I responded to the sweet, nostalgic siren tune of a […]

There seem to be two somewhat opposite quarantine states: extremely lazy and disgustingly productive. For the most part, I fall into the first category; I […]

I think Happy Memorial Day weekend. To be honest, I completely forgot about this holiday and its long weekend until I saw the press release […]

In my opinion, it is difficult to add enough garlic to food, let alone too much. I usually double (or triple) the amount required in […]

Generally, shaking vigorously is required to get a fluffy, stable lather on top of sour. This is not a problem if you have some upper […]

For something that most of us need every single day, it seems unfair that coffee requires a rather complex chemical extraction process. Temperature, particle size […]

It’s a bummer here at Lifehacker tonight because we’re saying goodbye to Melissa Kirsch . Melissa has been our editor-in-chief and fearless leader ever since […]

Cold brewing is a very lazy method of brewing coffee, although that doesn’t mean it’s a pedantry process. While I’m sure there are many articles […]

I have two food quarantine projects, none of which involve baking. The first is grinding meat in my meat grinder (mainly for sausage purposes). The […]

If you have a whipper, or better yet, a sophisticated espresso machine with a steam wand, you probably already enjoy hot drinks with luxurious milk […]

The good thing about pineapple rum is that it’s almost two ingredients in one, but the best thing about it is that it’s here . […]

Now that I’m away from Campari, I’m forced to explore long-neglected corners of my bar cart. Things are not entirely bleak: there are a lot […]

I’ve been making a lot of sour lately, simply because it works with just about any alcohol and doesn’t require a ton of ingredients. The […]

If you are an intelligent and tasty person, then you probably bought several cans of condensed milk for your quarantine coffee . It’s sweet, creamy […]

If social distancing taught me anything, it’s that I love bars more than alcohol. I miss sitting in a room that I don’t pay rent […]

Today is Friday, or at least that’s what my phone tells me, but every day is pretty much like every other day and the “weekend” […]

If you don’t drink black coffee, you may be struggling a little right now, especially if you are not a fan of non-dairy powders. After […]

Many of you have shared your newfound tips for working from home, but you’ve just taken over work from home. I was born in it. […]

Although I have a stable bar cart situation, I rarely drink at home. At least I rarely drank at home before . Since I started […]

It seems that many of us will spend more time at home, which can lead to boredom, boredom and heavy drinking. Twitter is a very […]

If you regularly bring your cup to Starbucks for a discount (and, you know, for the entire planet), you should know that the coffee chain […]

It’s true children: if you don’t use it, you will lose them. Toe-touching, youthful optimism, and manageable hangovers wane with each passing season. Citrus fruits […]

Sometimes I get so focused on gin and amaro that I forget about the perfect bottles of whiskey, which I just sat and waited to […]

When I recommend a new bottle of booze, I try to use it in multiple recipes so it doesn’t get stuck on the bar cart […]

Ninety percent of the drinks I order at cocktail bars are Negronis. The holy trinity of gin, campari and sweet vermouth has an almost cosmic […]

Somehow it’s winter after all, and to be honest? I’m not thrilled! Of course, there are signs of spring coming – for example, crocuses peeking […]

There is not a single member of the Negroni family that I dislike. The combination of alcohol, bitter and vermouth in (roughly) equal parts never […]

Great news friends: this is citrus season, my favorite fruit season. Some people go for bananas for berries, but every winter I make it my […]

We are firmly in the middle of a bad winter , a part of the year that is cold, damp and gray, with no warm […]

Coming up with a new cocktail every week is fun, but after 125 episodes of this column, it got a little harder. Sometimes I ask […]

If you add sugar to your coffee, factors such as solubility (and kinetic energy) suggest that you should add sugar before any cold dairy products […]

Holidays are a time of excesses, and excesses are starting to take their toll. Aside from general fatigue and a little bloating, my seasonal craze […]

Stepping back from work is difficult, mainly because I have to eat every day, whether I want to or not. Even when I’m on vacation, […]

During the holidays, apples do a lot of hard work. We bake them in pies, drink their fermented juice, and sip on their flavored cider […]

I have prepared many cocktails in due time, but I am absolutely not able to memorize proportions. For this reason, I really appreciate recipes that […]

Expert cocktail friends have many benefits. Aside from being great presenters, they often (quite generously) give me inspiration and recipes for this column. They usually […]

I always love pears more than real fruits, primarily because, like avocados, their “oh my gosh” window is very short. But pear brandy never fails […]

One of my favorite things about working with Skillet is the relationship I have developed with the readers. Aside from the comment sections — and […]
