It’s time to give the classic wine cooler an at-home update, and it doesn’t need any bizarre ingredients or neon coloring agents. Like the original, this remake delivers sweet, ripe peach flavors accented by a dash of fresh orange. As it turns out, peach schnapps and OJ are the PB&J of the drinks industry.

How I Decluttered My Kitchen Junk Drawer — Before & After
(Image credit: Sarah Coffey)
I don’t believe in junk drawers. It’s not that I don’t believe they exist — they’re a fixture in something like 99 percent of American homes — I just don’t believe they’re necessary. Every drawer should have a reason for being. A junk drawer is just waiting to find its true calling.
So, it’s a little embarrassing to admit that I have a junk drawer in my kitchen. To find a vegetable peeler, I have to sift through tangles of whisk wires and food processor cords. I’ve been telling myself that it’s just in need of a little organizing, but the truth is this drawer’s a dump. Here’s how I decluttered my delusions and gave this drawer back its sense of purpose.

When you’re hanging out in the frozen aisle of the grocery store, what pint of ice cream calls out your name? Is it something nostalgic like vanilla? Something you and your mom used to eat together? Or do you gravitate towards something a little more sophisticated like salted caramel, or a local brand that just does ice cream better than everyone else?
For the month of June, I asked 25 people in various creative fields (mostly food) to tell us their favorite pints of ice cream. From TV personalties like Giada de Laurentiis to chefs like Dale Talde, these 25 individuals have strong feelings on the subject and have stories to accompany their choices. Go ahead and get inspired for your next shopping trip.

When paired with acidic ingredients, such as pineapple and lime, raw rhubarb holds it color and crunch in this fruity salsa. It’s great in fish tacos, but it’s equally good served with crisp corn or sweet potato chips.

Kitchn’s Food Editor, Hali Bey Ramdene, is the kind of person you can have deep, interesting conversations with about the similarities between Kim Kardashian and Caesar salad (more on that later this summer). She’s an incredibly thoughtful writer, and genuinely cares about helping people get dinner on the table. Sometimes that translates to brilliant recipes or a smart series on educating your eye at the grocery store, and sometimes that just means finding the perfect after-dinner treat (i.e., ice cream).
Powdered Buttermilk Is the Better Alternative to Wasted Buttermilk — Take the Easy Way Out
(Image credit: Samantha Bolton)
My grandparents used to pour buttermilk into a drinking glass full of cornbread and eat it with a spoon. Nana called it clabber, and as much as I liked some of the unfamiliar treats at their house, this one was not for me. In retrospect, it might have been more appealing in a bowl … or maybe not.
Anyhow, my point is that I have no interest in large containers of buttermilk, because most recipes call for a half-cup or less, and no way am I drinking the rest. What’s a cook who would hate to waste a half-gallon of buttermilk to do?
Go for the powdered stuff!
You’ve Got Rhubarb All Wrong — Rhubarb Remastered
Too many people regard rhubarb like a beloved, sassy elderly aunt. She comes to town each spring and wears a lot of hot pink and bright green. Everyone is thrilled to see her, but after sharing a couple of pies and a pot of coffee, what are they going to do with her the rest of the time?
