Five Farms Irish Cream is the perfect addition to a morning cup of coffee, or hot chocolate. Five Farms is also delicious to enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in a variety of craft cocktail recipes.
This premium product is the world's first farm-to-table Irish cream liqueur. The dairy cream comes from five generational family-owned farms in County Cork, Ireland, and is blended with authentic Irish whiskey within 48 hours of collection. The richness of the dairy cream combined with 10% Irish whiskey (most brands use less than 1%) set it apart from every other Irish cream on the market.

For some, when hearing "morning drinks" the first thing that pops into their mind is Fruhschoppen! It's a real German tradition where you drink beer in the morning. The usual go-to beer is a light & fruity hefeweizen wheat beer , Schofferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen beer.
It's a refreshing & delicious combo of 50% real German hefeweizen and 50% grapefruit juice. And with a lower 2.5% ABV, Schofferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen is the perfect morning libation. Even though we may not be in Bavaria, we think every Mom (or Dad) deserves to take part in a little Fruhschoppen once and a while.

1 Cinnamon stick, whole
0.5 teaspoon Pink Peppercorns, whole
1 teaspoon Green Cardamom, decorticated (separated from the pod)
1 satsuma orange (or any winter citrus)
Cranberry Juice
*can also use other baking spices as desired*
Measure 8 oz cranberry juice and set aside. Lightly crack spices and toast in a dry saucepan over medium heat until aromatic. Pour the cranberry juice over the toasted spices and cook over medium heat until it simmers. Turn heat down to medium low. Slice your winter citrus and add wheels to the pot and simmer for five minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey (or other preferred sweetener). Cool and keep refrigerated.
To mix:
Select your favorite tulip glass or flute. Fill most of the way with Suntory ALL-FREE, and measure 1 oz to 1.5 ounces of spiced cranberry base into the glass. Pour slowly so that it layers for a fun two-tone effect.

Nero d'Avola is a great everyday red, a full-bodied dry wine exuding fruity aromas (berries, cherries, and plum) followed by notes of pepper.
It has a good balance between the alcoholic and the acidic component, with the tannins’ impact that can sometimes be fairly intense. Nero is perfect with pasta for a late brunch or early lunch pairing.

Nero d'Avola Riserva is among the most popular options when it comes to choosing an important red. Doc Sicilia has introduced this typology in 2015, indicating a minimum of two years for the aging process.
Compared to the Nero d’Avola, the Riserva has a ruby tone that steers toward garnet color, has a more intense flavor of red fruits and has a longer lasting finish. Nero d’Avola Riserva is delicious when having a breakfast with meats and sausages.

Pairs well with first courses of baked pasta and savory cheeses. For its pleasant structure and intense aromaticity, the Stemmari Hedonis Nero d'Avola pairs ideally with typical Sicilian dishes, Spaghetti alla Norma, with eggplant, and smoked ricotta cheese.

La Segreta Nero d'Avola takes its name from the woods which surround our Ulmo vineyard. This young fresh wine principally produced from Nero d’Avola grapes, flagship of Sicilian wine, gains its personality and style with the addition of some international grapes. Lovely to unwind with in the morning while overlooking your garden.

La Crema 2020 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc
Juicy. Crisp. Exotic. Sourced from distinct vineyards spread across some of Sonoma County’s warmer sub-regions, including Knights Valley, Alexander Valley, and Dry Creek Valley. Aromas of apricot, golden kiwi, and mango are followed by flavors of ruby grapefruit, nectarine, and Gala apple. The 2020 vintage presents vibrant acidity and a lingering finish.
Photo via @ettorewinery
A deep straw-yellow color with golden reflections. In the nose it presents a fine but penetrating bouquet: notes of white flowers and exotic fruits, accompanied by buttery and vanilla nuances. In the mouth it is elegant with a pleasant, lingering structure that accompanies it toward a soft, yet flavorsome finish. Packs in light fruit, supple, complex flavors, with a range of ripe fig, pear, apricot, melon and citrus, as well as a lively seam of acidity that keeps the flavors bright and lively. Mineral and rich in essence.
