STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
INVENTIVE NEW WAYS TO FLAVOR YOUR COCKTAILS AT HOME, IN THE BAR, AND ON THE GO.
HERB AND LOU’S INFUSED COCKTAIL ICE CUBES
Looking to create a quick and flavorful cocktail with one small ingredient? Grab your favorite booze and drop an Herb and Lou’s-infused ice cube into a glass or shaker. Presto: instant drink. Cucumber, watermelon, clover honey, and thyme are suggested with vodka and tequila; blood orange and ginger complement bourbon. The company name comes from the founders’ grandfathers, who premixed nonalcoholic cocktail ingredients and froze them pre-party time. Now that’s old-school innovation. herbandlous.com.
WORLD’S SMALLEST GARDEN
Got a wine, olive oil, or spirits bottle to repurpose? Order yourself an assortment of World’s Smallest Garden test tube-like seed containers. Each container containing an herb (like basil, mint, or dill) holds “smart soil” that sucks water from the bottle up to feed the seed inside. When the seedling sprouts, it sends roots into the bottle, and the original seedling will survive for a month on the initial water put in the bottle. To keep the seed growing, just top off the water when needed. kickstarter.com.
