New Year’s Eve

The Adonis stunningly draws together vermouth, a couple styles of sherry, orange bitters, and a twist. Created in 1887 and named for a Greek god--now that's a pedigree.

The quintessential something to sip at an elegant soirée, a large party, or just because it’s a random Tuesday night.

Just as awesome as the ones you love to order by the platter at your favorite bar. But these you can nosh from the comfort of your own couch.

Admit it. You've long admired those gorgeous chocolate curl garnishes atop cakes and wondered how to make them at home. It couldn't be easier. Here's how.

These traditional German Christmas cookies that are subtly reminiscent of gingerbread are typically called lebkuchen, although we tend to refer to them as moments of perfectly spiced deliciousness.

Peppery greens, creamy blue cheese, and crisp pear are jumbled together with a sweetly nutty vinaigrette that’s so delicious you may just catch folks licking the plate.

Whether you need a no-fail romantic or celebratory dinner for two, here's how to pull it off with ease and impressiveness.

An impressive (and blissfully last-minute!) nosh with an incredibly satisfying salty sweet thing happening. And spectacularly simple to make. Decorate as much or as little as you like.

This bourbon-imbued after-dinner drink, a variation on classic Irish coffee, is guaranteed to make everything alright. Or at least seem it in the moment.

Easy to make. Good with beer. Perfect for parties. Sorta makes us think we're back in college. Beer pong, anyone?

These flaky French pastries are dainty, diminutive, and irresistible as can be (typed while licking the sugar from our fingers).

Oysters. Mignonette. Friends. Champagne. And these shucking instructions. That's all you need for the best oyster experience ever.

This Campari Fizz aperitif juxtaposes the herby, bitter taste of Campari with the sweetness of sparkling wine to stunning effect.

You'll understand why we swooned over this effervescent and elegant elixir the second you take a sip.

An Italian classic. And it's ridiculously easy to make at home with just lemons, sugar, vodka, and a little patience.

Truly impressive and a heck of a lot less fussy than it looks. Tastes pretty darn phenomenal, too. Sign us up.

This white cake has an understated elegance thanks to its tender crumb and lovely nuanced taste that everyone is calling unforgettable in the best possible way. Proof that basic doesn't mean boring.

There's a reason this effervescent mingling of stout and Champagne contains the word "velvet." It's sooooo smooth and subtly sophisticated. Sip for yourself.

Three ingredients. One pot. And less than 15 minutes from stovetop to table—barely enough time to uncork a bottle of wine or crack open a beer. Somehow, we think you'll manage.

Simply stunning. Stunningly simple. These fancy pants pears are perfect after being poached in a cinnamon-infused syrup and drizzled with a coffee-infused caramel sauce.
