Limonada de Coco - Coconut Limeade
1 can of unsweetened Coconut Milk
—– ALT: Canned Coconut Cream – (thicker)
4 oz lime juice
—– ALT: juice of 4 limes
4 TBL Agave Syrup
—– ALT: Fine sugar, or other sweetener of choice, to taste
1 cup of ice
—– ALT: Up to 4 cups of ice if it will all be consumed soon
Instruction: In a blender, blend until smooth. Add more ice in glass
—– ALT: If you don’t have a blender, whisk the liquids and a cup of water, add ice in the glass

Note: Not drinking it all today, so didn’t want to add too much ice to melt now, but it needs some water or ice blended in to thin it out. It’s delicious, but not as refreshing if it’s really thick.

Optional: Add rum. I suggest 1.5-2 oz rum in a 12 oz glass, 6-8 oz of this mix, and fill with crushed ice, should keep it fairly refreshing.

Aces & Eights Cocktail

Note: 7/16/26 – On FB, Richard Kadrey posted a drink menu from a con (ConGregate in NC)
Okay, Sat. 7/8/26, testing out a version of the Aces and Eights here, and it’s pretty good!
4 oz pineapple juice
2 oz dark rum
1 oz light rum
1 oz lime juice
1 oz blackberry syrup
1/4-1/2 oz cinnamon schnapps
2+ dashes angostura bitters
The cinnamon is probably stronger than fireball, and it’s interesting but odd. I could grow to like it. It’s a good bite. Next test we’re going to try allspice dram instead of the cinnamon, but that’ll be a little odd for most folks. We like tiki drinks in this house, so this is a thing we have.

Blueberry - Lemon - White chocolate truffles

Ingredients

  • 8oz White chocolate (baking) pieces, chop up if in block form
  • 5 TBL Unsalted butter
  • 3 TBL Heavy Cream
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tspn Lemon Extract (can be orange or other flavors)
  • 1 oz (by weight) Blueberry Powder
  • 1/3 cup of powder or sugar or so (for rolling the balls in)
  • Optional: Food coloring

Directions

  • In a Saucepan, over double-boiler, melt the butter, add heavy cream, stir
  • Add & stir in: extract and powder
  • Add white chocolate piece and melt very slowly on low heat so it doesn’t separate

    (Note: It separated on me. I let it completely cool, then warmed it very gently and stirred it all together and it was fine.)
  • Cool and refrigerate mixture for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to roll into balls
  • Roll into 1-1.5″ balls, roll in powdered sugar to fully coat
  • Enjoy
  • You can keep these in the fridge for at least a week (if they last that long)
  • Delicious option for those who want a non-chocolate option
