Cocktail Hour Meets … Lobster Paella!

Our New Year’s Eve tradition! Just us this year. This year’s version had lobster (of course), shrimp, chorizo and chicken thighs. Served with a Priorato blanco.⁠

We even made it to midnight to see the fireworks! Wishing you all a Safe, Happy and Healthy 2021!⁠

Cocktail Hour Meets … A Cooking Class in Morocco

A 2017 trip to Morocco found us in a cooking class in Marrakech. Among other things, we made Chicken Tagine, which we then made on Day 47 of our quarantine (with homemade preserved lemons). We also made a cocktail with preserved lemons that we named the Morocc-arita. You’ll have to buy the book to get the recipe! Just a hint – it was delicious!⁠

Cocktail Hour Meets … A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

We are excited to preview our newest project: Cocktail Hour Meets … A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION (that is of course taking place in the middle of a pandemic). Beginning next Sunday, September 20th, 45 days before the election, we will begin a cocktail of the day to honor each of our presidents – starting of course with George Washington. That’s the fun part. The serious part is that as we approach the most important election of our lives, it is vital that the election is fair. As such, a portion of the proceeds from the book (which will be published soon after the election) will be donated to Vote.org (www.vote.org) – a national nonprofit that fights for fair elections and against voter suppression. Please follow us on Instagram (@cocktailhourmeets) or Facebook (Cocktail Hour Meets) if you don’t already so that you won’t miss any of these cocktails!

Cocktail Hour Meets … Corks

When we moved back to Dallas last year we bought a very large coffee table and various knickknacks to put on it. At first, we could not figure out what to put in the decorative basket. 18 months later… We were very upfront about this in the book – we are big wine and champagne fans!
