Binny's Blog

Binny’s Demo Kitchen perfectly pairs Grilled Tequila-Lime Trout and Watermelon Salsa with Mulderbosch sauvignon blanc from South Africa. Berkley’s Trumer Pils is the call when it comes to beer or try it with a watermelon cocktail from our resident mixologist.

A quintessential poolside sipper, the Watermelon Margarita. Our recipe utilizes ice cubes made from rich agua fresca for a more intense watermelon flavor and ice cold slushy texture. A summery frozen cocktail designed to combat the heat. Binny's Home Bartender leans into watermelon season with recipes for Watermelon Agua Fresca, Frozen Watermelon Margarita, Watermelon Rosé Spritzer and a Watermelon Cooler.

Our resident mixologist loves to riff on cocktails and now you can do it too with three variations on the classic Tequila Sunrise cocktail.

El Diablo cocktail, an unconventional blend of Tequila, Crème de Cassis, lime and ginger beer. It’s a surprisingly delicious cocktail recipe invented by Vic Bergeron aka Trader Vic. We use Añejo Tequila, Jules Theuriet Cassis and Fever Tree ginger beer.
