Drink and Drawn

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

With all the different food recipes available out there, you might be feeling a little parched. Never fear, as a few brave souls have answered the call and created their own drink recipe comics, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, to quench all manners of thirst.

If you crave the kind of beverage that drinks like a meal, Simon Mackie comes to the rescue with his recipe for Hippy Dippy Milkshake, featuring ice cream, honey, and lots of love.

But if you’re craving something with a bit more kick to it…that is, something with a touch of alcohol, a lot of artists do like to drink, and a few will even share that passion in comic form.

Tea Fougner loves making cocktails, especially with gin, as evidenced by this comic about the perfect Negroni. That isn’t to say other spirits are neglected—just make sure you know your rums before trying out her recipe for hot buttered rum.

If you ever really wanted to impress people with your drink making or brewing prowess, Chad Essley has a recipe for homemade limoncello. Pretty intense, but worth the time and effort.

Following all the recipes in this post might leave you feeling just a bit less than optimal, but Simon Mackie has the remedy for that, too, providing a hangover cure (though judging from the ingredients, it might actually leave you feeling still a bit ill).

A Witch’s Brew

Tomorrow begins the month of October, so it’s time to start putting out those Halloween decorations, including some carved pumpkins! While we couldn’t find any comics to teach you how to do that, Simon Mackie does show you what to do with the squishy, delicious innards after you cut them out: make pumpkin soup!

In fact, the start of October means we’re well into the harvest season, when lots of delicious fresh fruits and vegetables will grace our tables. It might be a good idea to brush up on your cooking skills before Thanksgiving, so why not start with a quick guide to blanching and shocking vegetables, courtesy of Tea Fougner? She also has her own bit of soup advice to impart, showing how to make three different vegetable soups (Autumn root veggie puree, celery and onion puree, and veggie stock), all using the same pot!
