Blackberry season comes along when the ground is crisp and scorched from summer’s heat and the thirst for refreshing, cold cocktails hasn’t ceased. The act of muddling (or in this case, smashing) fruit and mint as a base for a cocktail is mystically satisfying to any mixed drink maker. The blackberry smash with salame swizzle contains tangy blackberries and sharp mint tamed by bourbon’s sweet notes keeps summer in its clutches ‒ it even has a built in snack of chorizo to tide you over to your refill.

It’s OK to admit that you love pigs in a blanket. They come out on a tray at a fancy cocktail party, and you secretly do a happy dance. We’ve all been there. Retro, hipster, trashy: no label can define nor denigrate these bite-size porky delights. This is especially true for our salami pigs in a blanket. But if you need to justify them, our apple-onion chutney and mustard beer dipping sauces will class them up nicely. Pig out.

These little guys have survived the test of time since their birth in 13th-century Poland and have a place as one of the great stuffed dumplings of the world. And no wonder. Tender discs of dough filled with just about anything tasty, fried in butter (our favorite way) and served with caramelized onions, they are the best kind of addiction.

We love okra. Some people say it’s slimy and refuse to consider it. We say this dish could convert them. By charring the okra whole (no goo oozing out from slices) in a wicked-hot pan, you get crisp-tender pods. Don’t relegate okra to a gumbo limbo. Our salami-tomato sauce is surprisingly sweet, tart and savory all at once, so it’s really makes okra the perfect side dish for almost anything.

Plain ol’ breadcrumb topping just got an upgrade by swapping in ground taralli instead. They’re those little donut-shaped crackers found in Italian bakeries and markets. The best ones are made with superior olive oil, of course, and produce a crunchy, flaky, deeply satisfying (read: addictive) snack. Taralli are often flavored with fennel seed, so they echo that note in the salami. Put those together on top of oysters in a classic New England-inspired preparation and you’ve got one hell of an appetizer.

The martini, for all its simplicity, fuels more arguments than just about any cocktail. Vermouth or no? Shake or stir? What type of gin? Bitters? Lemon? Olive? Just give me a martini already. But as with everything worthwhile, your cocktail isn’t going to be any better than what you put into it. But with good ingredients and thoughtful preparation, you can’t go wrong. With the martini, it comes down to preference. The best way to make it is the way you like it. Some gins are mellow, some floral, some savory. Try a few and pick your favorite. We like Bombay Dry because of its earthiness and its affinity for the fennel in the salami. And we use vermouth. None of this “wave the bottle over the top” nonsense. Add it in. It smooths out the drink and adds a definitive flavor.
