The Binny’s Tasting Panel picks their top wines for Easter

Binny’s Home Bartender clears away the cobwebs from the pre-prohibition Brain Duster aka the Waldorf cocktail, a heady combo of rye, sweet vermouth, absinthe and bitters.

A spin on the traditional tortilla de patatas, embellished with onions, leeks. The addition of Serrano or Iberico makes it a perfect dish for Easter brunch.

This easy but magnificent roast leg of lamb recipe is the perfect main course for your Easter feast. The straightforward preparation is also the perfect opportunity for a great wine or beer pairing.

Cinnamon rolls are an irresistible sweat treat and the Demo Kitchen has a recipe for you to make them at home any time you want. Plus, easily turn them into Mini King Cakes with the addition of green, gold and purple candy sugar.

Eggs are virtually indispensable in kitchens the world over. Very few cuisines eschew the versatility of the humble egg and its myriad delights. Shakshuka is a popular dish in North Africa and the Middle East and has recently become a favorite at hip restaurants in the US.

This recipe was inspired, not just by Danish Kringle itself but the fantastic Bourbon Barrel Aged Pecan Kringle Stout from Wisconsin’s own Central Waters Brewing Company. It’s a massive brew of sweet, layered, spirited, complexity that speaks of praline, maple, vanilla, and sweet brown spices. Our Bourbon Pecan Kringle follows suit making for a heavenly if decadently over the top pairing.

It’s the spooky time of year, so it’s time to talk about Halloween beers and Halloween cocktails. A cocktail episode means that Greg and Pat get to hang out while Roger makes them cocktails. And Chris will make his own while spending way too much time crafting the garnish.

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.
