Nutella Fondue

fondue is one of my favorite things to make for a cocktail party. people love to pop by the

fondue pot and dip, and it takes no time at all to prepare. Just remember to replenish the

items meant for dipping from time to time!

Heat the cream in a small saucepan until just barely boiling. Remove from

the heat, add the chopped milk chocolate, and stir until melted. Add the

Nutella and Frangelico and stir to combine. Transfer to a fondue pot to

keep warm and serve with the fruit, marshmallows, and cookies for dipping.

Yield: 6 servings

Chef’s Tip

My Fluffy Marshmallows on page 74 are a great accompaniment to this

chocolate-hazelnut heaven.

Kir Royale

•Soy-free •Dairy-free •Nut-free

everyone needs something sparkly on new year’s eve! This classic Champagne cocktail

is splashed with crème de cassis, a sweet, jammy black currant liqueur.

1 teaspoon crème de cassis

⅔ cup (160 ml) sparkling wine or

Champagne (enough to fill your

champagne flute about three-

fourths full)

Place the crème de cassis into a champagne flute and top with the

sparkling wine.

Yield: 1 serving

Chef’s Tip

Make this drink with white wine instead of Champagne and it’s simply

called a “Kir,” also delicious!

Maraschino-less Manhattan

•Soy-free •Dairy-free •Nut-free

This cocktail originated in the 1800s. Shaken, not stirred, a classic Manhattan is also free

of plastic-y artificial maraschino cherries. Some people prefer this drink over ice, so don’t

strain it if that is your preference.

¼ cup (60 ml) rye whiskey

1 tablespoon (15 ml) dry vermouth

1 or 2 dashes bitters (angostura

bitters will do, but orange bitters

are preferred)

1 strip orange zest (a “twist” of

orange)

Place the whisky, dry vermouth, and bitters into a cocktail shaker with ice.

Stir for 10 to 20 seconds to chill the drink. Strain into a martini glass and

garnish with the twist of orange.

Yield: 1 serving

Chef’s Tip

You can find orange bitters in most high-end liquor stores or kitchen supply

stores.
