Patriotic Cocktail

With Memorial Day upon us our Sunday Supper crew has teamed up to bring you recipes filled with red white and blue foods to celebrate the long holiday weekend in remembrance of those that gave their lives while in service to our great country.

Colt and I spent 2 days trying to perfect a Patriotic Red White and Blue Cocktail recipe with the colors of the American Flag that not only looked pretty but was equally as delicious and easy to make.

After many attempts to achieve gorgeous layers of red, white and blue with different fruit purees and cream we finally decided on a simple Patriotic Cocktail with whole berries soaked in a mixture of lime for a murky white color, 7up and vodka.

A perfect cocktail to enjoy while celebrating an important day of reflection and patriotism.

Boccone Dolce Recipe

Boccone Dolce translates from Italian as "sweet mouth fulls." I love how the meringue is crunchy with soft billowy whip cream topped with sweet strawberries and let us not forget the layer of luscious chocolate that pulls all of these flavors together. There is nothing quite like it. This is a Easter tradition in our house. A definite must make cake before you die!

I will never forget the first time I had a glimpse of this cake when I was about 7-8 years old over at my best friends house, her mother Marie would make this for special occasions. I remember how elegant the cake had looked and the first time I had seen it. I'll never forget the first time I was able to taste this sweet mouthful. The crunch of the meringue with the chocolate, the creamy whip cream and sweet strawberries from that moment on I was hooked!
