Kathy Casey’s “Over 21” Real Fruit Cakes made with Maker’s Mark
#RealFruitCake
It’s been over 10 years now that we have been baking up our signature “Over 21” Real Fruit Cake made with Maker’s Mark! Garnering cult like status these delicious beauties are chock full of Maker’s Mark-soaked dried fruits, including apricots, cranberries, tart cherries and golden raisins as well as lots of tasty toasted nuts from hazelnuts to rich pecans – all bound with our signature spiced batter. Baked until golden then brushed hot out of the oven with a Maker’s Mark brown sugar glaze.
“This is not your grandmother’s fruitcake, and is sure to convert any fruitcake naysayers. With all that delicious bourbon, fruit and nuts in it, this fruit cake certainly won’t end up re-gifted! Some loyal fans have said they ate the whole thing themselves,” commented Kathy Casey, “I personally love to toast a slice for Christmas morning breakfast.”
Quantities are limited and sell out fast. So here’s how to order or pick-up:
•Order from our website starting November 20th while supplies last.
•Priced at $12.99
Kathy Casey Food Studios is located at 5130 Ballard Ave. NW and is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. We suggest calling ahead to be sure that cakes are available.

Calling all cocktail enthusiasts! What do you get when you combine thousands of mixologists, spirit industry professionals, bar enthusiasts, and a lot of libations together? Tales of the Cocktail, of course!
Think of it as a five day summer camp for the best and brightest in the spirits industry. Held annually in New Orleans, the week features seminars, parties, and cocktailing galore in this boozy 24-hour playground. It can be a liver workout – trust me!
Mixologists from all over the country (including local NW bartenders!) put their skills to the test by participating in crazy cool competitions. And when you need a break from all the booze- there are tons of unique bookstores and gift shops to explore.
Not only is the festival SO much fun, it’s the best way to find out the latest and greatest trends in the spirits industry. And good news- tickets are open to the public! So if you’re looking for a reason to expand your liquor knowledge and visit NOLA- Tales of the Cocktail is the perfect excuse.
Can’t make it this year? No problem! You can still get in the spirit by making my d’lish Maple Ramos Fizz cocktail at home.
For ticketing information, visit their website.
And follow along with me on Twitter @KathyCaseyChef – I’ll be tweeting everything Tales direct from New Orleans next week!

Maple Ramos Fizz
Makes 2 cocktails
Maple adds another layer of flavor to this classic brunch cocktail. Try Sipsmith Gin with a splash of maple syrup over ice as a sipping alternative. For a whimsical garnish, purchase sugared waffle crisps cut into small wedges and skewer onto long bamboo skewers.
3 oz Sipsmith Gin
1/2 cup Maple Ramos Pre-Mix
————————————-
soda water for topping, chilled
Garnish: lemon peel twist
Measure the gin and Maple Ramos Pre-Mix into a mixing glass. Fill with ice, cap and shake vigorously to really froth the drink. Divide drink between 2 tall (Collins style) glasses, and top with a splash of soda water to fizz (about 1 ounce for each drink). Twist lemon over drink to express oils and garnish.
Maple Ramos Pre-Mix
Makes about 4 cups, or 8 servings
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup pasteurized or organic egg whites
3/4 cup real maple syrup
1/2 cup simple syrup*
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp orange flower water
Combine all ingredients together in a pitcher and whisk vigorously to combine, being sure egg whites are mixed in. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. Stir well before using.
*To make simple syrup: combine 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water in a saucepan, bring to a quick boil then remove from heat. Cool. Store refrigerated for up to 10 days. Makes about 3 cups.

Nightclub & Bar posted an article on Infused Ice, a great way of adding another layer of flavor to any cocktail. Make sure to check out the article for tips and recipes like my Angostura Infused Ice Balls, Bubbles in the Garden punch cocktail, and a Watermelon Rickey.
Fairmont Hotel & Resort’s new cocktail menu is a “statement on the cocktail culture at all of its properties.” Liquid Kitchen collaborated with these Tastemakers in a first-of-its-kind mixology meeting to fine tune and modernize the Classics. Read more about it in this article from Luxury Daily.
Last summer, the Liquid Kitchen hosted the Fairmont Tastemakers in developing and finalizing their global cocktail menu – “Classics. Perfected.” Check out the article from Hotel F&B (UK) introducing the mixology team and covering the brands used for the program.
Great article in In The Mix Magazine covering one of my fave hospitality industry events: the Hospitality Executive Exchange! Held on both the east and west coasts, these events are a great balance of educational seminars, networking, fun, and fundraising – like Cutthroat Cocktails at the East Coast event benefiting Children of Restaurant Employees (CORE).
