Wow Your Friends With The Perfect Cheese Board with Chef Sarah Copeland

Throughout the last year, cheese and charcuterie boards have flooded social media, with new and inventive takes on how to turn a basic board into a beautiful work of art. What else was there to do, right? We’re here to share with new tips and tricks from chef and author Sarah Copeland of Edible Living on how to create beautiful and delicious cheese boards to make these monotonous weekends at home feel a little more festive. Sarah Copeland has partnered with Plume & Petal, to teach you how to elevate your cheese boards, which pair perfectly with a Plume & Petal cocktail.

Sarah’s Top Tips Are

1. Pick a cheese from four different categories: creamy, distinctive, funky and crowd-pleaser

2. Add a variety of different flavors and textures from your charcuterie to your snacks, with crunchy Asian pear and cascading nuts and berries

3. Make sure everything is accessible with small pieces in an easy-to-grab layout

4. Use a lot of small dishes, spoons and forks to make it easy for everyone to enjoy the board and mitigate cross contamination

5. More is More! Squeeze as much as you can on the board

Recipe for Plume & Petal Lemon Drift Spritz below!

A serve that’s as simple as it is special, add a splash of club soda to Plume & Petal Lemon Drift for any moment, big or small. An added bonus, it can be easily batched as a spectacular group serve.

Ingredients:

1.5 oz. Plume & Petal Lemon Drift

3 oz. High-quality Club Soda

Garnish: Signature Fruit Garnish – Cucumber Slices, Lemon Wheels, or Peach Slices

Glass: Wine glass

Directions: Build in wine glass over ice. Garnish with 3 lemon wheels. May be served in carafe for a group serve.

To complement the board, we recommend pairing the charcuterie board with Plume & Petal libations. Crisp and refreshing, the three variants of Plume & Petal (Peach Wave, Cucumber Splash, Lemon Drift) contain only 83 calories and are a great, lighter alternative to wine.

3 Drink Business Ideas For Trendy Millennials

Would you care for a drink?

Today’s Millennials have a vast range of tastes when it comes to drinking. Wild grunge parties of the 1990s where everyone drank to oblivion are a thing of the past. Millennials and Gen Z have a much more appreciative approach to drinks. They instinctively understand the need for expertise when it comes to a good beverage, whether it is served in a cocktail glass or a coffee mug. The passion for knowing and understanding everything about their favorite drinks can inspire the launch of sophisticated businesses that can surf on the drink culture wave. 

As it happens, more and more individuals are staying at home in the midst of the pandemic. They are losing their opportunity to socialize with friends at the local bar or coffee shop. It offers a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to launch a drink business that is dedicated to enhancing your at-home experience.

Romantic night-in delivery 

The pandemic is making a strong argument for romantic night-ins. A business model that specializes in offering a range of celebration drinks for each occasion can serve the night-in purpose. It is fair to say that not every household is equipped with the knowledge to pick the right bottle for their home-cooked meal. That’s where a unique differentiating factor can help promote your business. Offering simple recipes along with each bottle of wine can transform the romantic dinner at home. For unique partnerships, the business can also provide direct links to local takeaways with recommendations on the best choices for each wine. 

It can also be helpful to join small ingredients to prepare wine or bubbly cocktails, such as letterbox-friendly pouches with small quantities of spirit, fruit juice, or soda with step-by-step instructions. 

Coffee-at-home supplier

Some days, you just fancy a smooth and mellow cup of coffee that hits all the right spots inside your mouth. As many employees have embraced home-based work arrangements during the pandemic, many find themselves missing their favorite drinks at the local coffee shop. As the Beverage Industry market reveals, Americans consume a lot of coffee – 400 million cups of coffee every day. But some prefer a frothy cappuccino while others want an oat milk latte with a dash of vanilla syrup. It can be tricky to reproduce barista-quality at home. Yet, a coffee or tea specialist could provide all the tools people need to create the right drink. 

Investing in automated espresso or coffee gear such as a superautomatic machine means that you don't even need an expert barista to make high-quality drinks. The machine does all of the work for you without the cost of labor and extra overhead

Alcohol-free cocktails for families

Not every home enjoys drinking alcohol. From pregnant women to fitness enthusiasts, a lot of adults would welcome the services of an alcohol-free specialist. Many households start the day with a homemade smoothie or freshly-pressed juice. But they fail to recognize the potential of a healthy mocktail. Did you know you could use a fun drink to inject more vitamins into your day-to-day lifestyle? A strawberry orange mango kombucha mocktail is packed with vitamins and probiotics goodness. Besides, there’s a grown-up scent to the fermented kombucha that makes this drink the perfect go-to option for a happy hour glass! 

Delivering drinks and drink recipes to trendy households who want to rediscover the pleasure of social drinking is a unique business opportunity. Contrary to common belief, the beverage market is vast. Regardless of your offering (alcoholic, alcohol-free, warm, etc.), it’s time to inject a healthy dose of sophistication into at-home drinking.

Moet & Chandon x AMBUSH Collaboration

International fashion designer of AMBUSH, Yoon, is releasing an unprecedented and inspirational collaboration with iconic champagne house, Moët & Chandon this February—a first for Yoon in this territory and first artist collaboration for the House’s signature Moët Imperial Champagne in 152 years.

Known for her pioneering spirit as a “rule-breaker,” Yoon injects her minimalist aesthetics into the redesign by changing the gold neck of the bottle to a deep shade of black, contrasted with a new embossed label in white, to produce an eye-catching design that suggests a blank slate—like a window onto a future filled with possibilities for those who dare step forward.

While visiting Epernay in Champagne country and home to Moët & Chandon since 1743, Yoon was inspired by the lush nature of the agricultural heartland and impressed by the care that went into preserving the land and it’s age-old traditions. Following the visit, Yoon choose World Land Trust to receive the profits of sale of the limited-edition bottles, with support from the brand. We share additional details on World Land Trust below, for your reference.

This momentous partnership showcases Yoon’s disruptive creative and aims to bring a freshness to the centuries-old heritage of the Moët & Chandon, allowing the brand to connect with the spirit of its time and stand for the values that speak to today’s generations.

What Did Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg Drink At The Puppybowl?

Last week at perhaps the best sporting event of 2021, The Puppy Bowl, had Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg, drinking one back with Martha’s own signature cocktail, the Martha’s Salty Dog Cocktail.

The Salty Dog is a twist on the classic Greyhound cocktail, and I’ve included Martha’s recipe from the segment below, in case you’re looking for a mid-week treat to share with your readers. She’s a brand fan so it is not a surprise that her Salty Dog honors Belvedere’s all-natural philosophy and our ‘simple, best, fresh’ approach to cocktails. Want one to make for yourself? See our recipe below, and you’ll be drinking with the dogs in no time.

• Rim your glass with a wedge of lime for a fresh shot of juice

• Dip the wet rim into a plate of coarse salt

• Pour 3 ounces of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice into a shaker with ice

• Follow the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice with 1 ½ oz. of Belvedere Pure

• Shake the juice, vodka & ice and pour it all right into your salt rimmed glass

• Garnish with a wedge of lime, add a paper straw and enjoy
