There’s chemistry involved every time we cook, and our ultimate goal is to Student-Proof our recipes so no one has to do any guesswork. All of our recipes include supplemental information about the science of what you’re trying to make, explained in a way anyone could understand.

Layered Double Espresso G&T

Everyone knows the famous Espresso Martini, but I’m a little more of a gin&tonic drinker. This drink, inspired by the Fenster Cafe in Vienna, was the perfect drink to keep us going all New Year’s Eve of 2021. It’s light and bubbly, with the bitterness in the espresso perfectly balanced with the iced tonic. It’s incredibly easy to drink, so make sure you’re keeping track!

A bramble is traditionally lemon, simple syrup, blackberries, sparkling water, and gin/vodka. I made some fresh lavender lemonade the other day and thought it might be fun to replace the lemon juice and simple syrup with my own lemonade. And thus the Lavender & Blackberry Bramble was born!
