How To Make Rosé Gummies — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Take everything you love about your favorite bottle of rosé — that lush, pale pink color; the crisp, refreshing finish; a fruity, just sweet-enough edge — and now imagine it packed into a gummy bear! That collision between the candy we munched on as kids (and probably still do now) and the “it” wine of the moment makes this surprisingly easy-to-make candy even more delightful.

This time of year, when chocolate hearts line the drugstore aisles, roses fill the flower shops, and love is in the air, it feels fitting to drink something fizzy. I would argue that even if your romantic situation is, like mine, somewhat nebulous, it’s just as appropriate to pick up a bottle of bubbles and make a big deal out of a Tuesday night.
But perhaps this year is an extra-special occasion. Maybe you’re thinking of popping the question (and, hopefully, a celebratory bottle when your boo says yes). Maybe you’re celebrating a big anniversary. Or maybe you’ve just made it through the year as a couple and that’s plenty (it’s been a doozy).
Whatever the case, you want a Champagne that’s a little more unique — maybe a vintage bottle? The only thing is, you’re not 100 percent sure what a vintage bottle is and why it costs so much. We’re here to answer your questions, with a little help from the president of Laurent-Perrier US, Michelle Dagny DeFeo.

This Hotel Bar Has the Best Snacks — The Hotel Bar
Bowls of honey-roasted peanuts and popcorn kernels tumbling out of brown paper bags were once standard-issue bar snacks — welcome but generic placeholders until dinner reservations two hours later. Now they run the gamut from okonomiyaki (savory Japanese pancakes) to pimento buns, often standing in for a casual, graze-fueled supper.
Hotel boîtes are especially astute at showcasing cocktails’ gustatory sidekicks. Sometimes they are luckily gratis, like the petite, spinach-stuffed fritters known as barbajuan that high rollers fill up on at Bar Américain in the Monte Carlo’s Hotel de Paris.
But the place I love noshing at most in between rounds of daiquiris happily involves taking out my wallet.
How To Make a Classic Old-Fashioned Cocktail — Cocktail Lessons from The Kitchn
In the world of cocktails, the Old Fashioned is the person who walks into a room and doesn’t need an introduction. They’ve been in the game for so long that everyone knows them. Everyone admires and respects them. As cocktail recipes pop up and disappear by the season, the Old Fashioned remains. It represents everything a well-crafted cocktail should be: balanced.
