Happy 50th Super Bowl Sunday weekend! Almost like Thanksgiving in that it is a day of American indulgence, yet instead of turkey and cranberries it is all about chicken wings and 9-layer dips….not exactly the healthiest. Instead on this day of revelry consider these tasty options if laying out a festive spread this Sunday. Wings aren’t involved, but these will still please your crowd. Also, a few tasty cocktails to celebrate the big game. Go Broncos!
Prosciutto Wrapped Figs and Bacon Candy
Pisco Sour
3 ounces Pisco Porton
1 ounce simple syrup
1 ounce lime juice (key lime juice is best if you can get it.)
1 egg white
Angostura bitters – 2 dashes
Preparation: Add all ingredients to an ice filled shaker and shake until the egg white becomes very frothy. Strain into a coup or martini glass and enjoy.
Gin & Tonic
1 part London No 1 Gin
2 parts quality tonic, like Fever Tree
Fresh golden apple slices, strawberries, raspberries, mint leaves
Preparation: Add ingredients over ice to a large bowl glass, like your Pinot Noir glass, stir and enjoy
