The sun isn't setting in Alaska which means that my drinking needs to begin sooner rather than later and what better way to experience Anchorage than by attending their local Farmer's Market (there's one where you live so peel yourself off the floor, wipe your drool and wander over)!

There's never been a better time to make summer cocktails with fresh produce locally grown! I'm all about drinking locally! So pick yourself up some peaches, Cointreau and prosecco and let the Saturday Libation's begin!

Ingredients you need

• 2 lbs. pureed Peaches
• 1 glug Cointreau
• many bottles Prosecco

How to make a Farmer's Market Bellini:

Skin, Slice, puree two pounds of peaches. I like White Peaches the best! Thin the peach puree by adding a glug of Cointreau. Chilled prosecco and glasses to assemble. Use 2/3 prosecco and 1/3 peach puree per glass. No ice needed!

My recommended glass: As many as possible!

As I travel west to drink my way through the Alaskan Wilderness, I feel inspired and begin my friday travels with an Alaskan cocktail!

Ingredients you need

• 1 oz. Gin
• 3 oz. Orange Juice
• 3 oz. Pineapple Juice
• 1 oz. Rum
• 1 oz. Vodka

How to make a Alaskan Suntan:

In blender, mix juices, sugar, (freshfruit if desired), and ice. Pour intoglass and stir in alcohol. Bask in the sweetness. 

My recommended glass: A Pitcher (Ha!)

Mekong has so many good Belgian ales that I couldn't pick just one.

 

Baltimore was HOT! Holy 100+ degree wave. Despite the heat we hit up some cool spots while we were there. Downtown Baltimore brings it. You can walk around Fells Point and stumble into The Horse You Rode In On, one of the oldest saloons in the country, and you won't be disappointed. After all those shots of whiskey I am a fan for life! Flying Dog Brewery was GREAT! What a cool establishment. You will enjoy their whole story when the show airs. Loved the Raging Bitch and the Horny Dog and all the rest! We also had some apothecary cocktails at the Museum Bar. What a treat! Go see Perez and let him heal you with his wondrous creations.
All and all, I'm digging Baltimore. WAtch the episode to see all the places we hit and all the craziness that followed!

Cheers:)
