PRODUCT: Two Chicks Cocktails In Cans

We love a good cocktail: something special crafted with care.

We typically have them at restaurants, not at home; and in our neck of the woods they’re $15, $18, even $20.

Ha! We now have a great solution for home.

Two Chicks makes sparking cocktails in cans—only 5% alcohol, so you have flavor without the buzz.

They’re great for home, great for gifting—for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, as a hostess gift or an anytime gift. We also like them as party favors.

The flavors are:

  • Sparkling Apple Gimlet: Gin, Apple & Cucumber Cocktail
  • Sparkling Citrus Margarita: Tequila, Lemon & Lime Cocktail
  • Sparkling New Fashioned: Whiskey, Spicy Ginger & Orange Cocktail
  • Sparkling Paloma: Tequila, Grapefruit Cocktail
  • Sparkling Vodka CuTea: Vodka With Cucumber, Peach & Thyme Cocktail
  • Sparkling Vodka Fizz: Vodka, Elderflower & Pear Cocktail (our personal fave)
  •  
    We’re not the only ones who like it. All the reviews we’ve seen have been 5 stars.
     
     
    IT’S COCKTAIL TIME!

    Drink a Two Chicks cocktail with a straw from the can, or from your cocktail glass of choice.

    The cans are sold in single-flavor for-packs, nicely decorated in a vintage-style floral illustration (as are the cans).

    Individual cans are SRP $3.99; four-packs are $13.99. Prices vary by retailer.

    There’s a store locator on the website.

    Or, head to these e-tail sites.

    TOP PICK OF THE WEEK: Chevre Cheesecake From Belle Chevre


    [1] A slice of Belle Chevre cheesecake (both photos © Belle Chevre).


    [2] It’s delivered in this box. Yum.

     

    We are in love…with a cheesecake.

    Every cheesecake lover (brownie lover, chocolate chip cookie lover, etc.) has his/her own ideal recipe.

    Belle Chevre’s is ours.

    It’s dense, magnificently creamy, and redolent of fresh lemon flavor from lemon zest in the batter. It has a graham cracker crust.

    It has everything we want in a cheesecake. It’s even a medium size, so if you eat the whole cheesecake (over three days, of course!), you haven’t gone overboard.
     
     
    A SECRET INGREDIENT

    Well, it’s not exactly secret. Belle Chevre cheesecake is made with the company’s heavenly chevre cream cheese (also a must-try, in Original plus Cinnamon, Coffee, Fig and Honey).

    Those who don’t like goat cheese will never know that the cream cheese isn’t cow’s milk. There’s no goat cheese flavor whatsoever; just the palate pleasure of a great piece of cheesecake.

    Think of what a slice of cheesecake costs at a restaurant. Belle Chevre’s 6″ diameter cheesecake, 27 ounces, is $34.95 (and worth every penny).

    The year it debuted (2013), Belle Chevre cheesecake was the winner of the two of the food industry’s highest honors: the Sofi Award for Best Baked Good and the Dairy Innovation Awards Best Dairy Dessert.

    The winners were chosen by buyers at top retailer stores. These people taste everything, so they should know!

    For Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or anytime gifts—or for you because you deserve it—we can’t recommend this cheesecake highly enough (and we’ve had cheesecakes from at least 10 leading cheesecake websites).

     
     
    SEND FOR YOURS NOW!

    Get the cheesecake at BelleChevre.com.

    We have to give a shout-out to the rest of Belle Chevre’s products, especially the flavored cream cheeses—so good you’ll eat them out of the container with a spoon.

    So don’t forget to add some cream cheese to your order, plus some pimento cheese and anything else that catches your eye.

    Find them here.

    They’re all soooo gooood.
     
     
    YES, YOU CAN FREEZE CHEESECAKE

    We doubt that there will be any Belle Chevre cheesecake left to freeze.

    But in general, it’s best to freeze individual slices for three weeks or so, wrapped in plastic and stored in a freezer bag.

    You can put it in the fridge to slowly defrost overnight; or leave it on the counter for an hour.

    To tell the truth, they’re delicious frozen, too, perhaps with a dab of fudge sauce or fruit purée.

    MOTHER’S DAY GIFT: Cheese Tower Instead Of A Cheese Plate

    For a cheese lover, this Cheese Tower made of slate and oak is an elegant and fun alternative to a cheese plate or tray.

    Just place the cheese—sliced, cubed, whatever—on the layers and place it on the buffet or pass it around the table.

    The presentation will delight your guests. The Party Tower gives you three layers of beautiful slate that looks great on the dining table.

    They’ll look even more tasty on the tiered tower than on your favorite serving plate, whether it’s just two of you for dinner or a whole dinner party.

    The oak wood handle has a compartment to hold your party picks or toothpicks.

    You can write the name of each cheese or other bite on the slate with chalk.
     
     
    IT’S FOR MORE THAN CHEESE

    It’s not just a Cheese Tower. It’s a Party Tower that you can also use for:

  • Antipasto: artichoke hearts, cheeses, cold cuts, olives, peperoncini and more
  • Bruschetta/crostini (the difference)
  • Canapés
  • Deviled eggs
  • Mini desserts
  • Post-dinner mignardises: chocolates, mini-cookies, petit fours, tartlets
  • Tapas
  • And more
  •
