Well, it is fall now and I am trying to get back to my blog!
Lisa and Pat brought their book club, with lots of food and wine, out to Mosey for an evening cruise. We had a blast. I met new friends and everyone turned out to be an interesting wonderful person!
Captain Ken was happy to have Mosey out even for just a few hours! Everyone was so appreciative of the special treat Lisa arranged for them.
Lisa brought her famous mini crab cakes and the wine surprise of the night was a beautiful Brachetto from the Piedmont Region of Italy. It is a sparkling very well balanced slightly sweet red sparkling wine. It pairs well with any desert really and if you got creative it would probably be a sensation with some main courses as well (especially some fruit or wild mushroom based game dishes ie.. boar, squab, rabbit. Venison would be magic!)
The mystery drink was a Limoncello lemonade:
1. Muddle or chop sugar and fresh lemon verbena together.
2. 1 part Limoncello, 1 part good vodka, 1 part fresh squeezed lemon juice.
3. Pour over ice and add sugar/lemon verbena to taste. Depends on how sweet you want it.
4. Garnish with a lemon flavored yellow cherry (if you can find them) or lemon twist.
5. Finish with a spritz of seltzer water.
We also had a mystery guest!
