     The Magic of Sanpellegrino!  At Eataly last night, an amazing reveal from Sanpellegrino took place!

    Eataly is my favorite New York City’s gourmet Italian marketplace and what a treat it was to celebrate the new summer flavors of my all time favorite sparkling fruit drink – Sanpellegrino!

    From April 26th to April 29th, Eataly visitors witnessed a unique and artistic installation from Sanpellegrino, a global leader in sparkling fruit beverages, where their two new flavors were revealed over-time with a one-of-a-kind spring-inspired floral installation.

    This morning, the flavors were finally revealed – officially announcing the addition of Melograno e Arancia (Pomegranate and Orange) and Clementina (Clementine) our FAVES to the Sanpellegrino Sparkling Fruit Beverages line-up.

     I was invited to learn all about the new flavors and how they can be used in the kitchen. With the Taste Buds of Spring Menu, I got to enjoy the yummy stuffed peppers with fish and veggies, glazed chicken with pomegranate and Cannoli with clementine zest.

    Along with tasting the food prepared by the head chef of Eataly, we were also introduced to the proper wine pairing with the likes of Cerasuolo, Chiaranda and Ben Rye are all available at Eataly.

    Smoretini

    How much do I love this! OMG

    • 32 ounces vodka
    • 16 ounces chocolate liqueur
    • 1 64-ounce pitcher
    • 1 sleeve of graham crackers or more if needed
    • 1 jar marshmallow creme (Marshmallow Fluff)
    • 16 martini glasses (disposable versions available at party stores)
    • 1 bag wooden skewers
    • 1 bag miniature marshmallows

    Pour vodka and chocolate liqueur into pitcher and stir. Refrigerate for at least several hours until the mixture is very cold. Crush a graham cracker in a plastic bag, then pour the crumbs into a small bowl. When no one’s looking, dip a finger into the jar of marshmallow creme, then run it around the rims of your martini glasses to lightly coat. Next, dip each glass into the bowl of graham cracker crumbs and shake the bowl gently to cover the marshmallow creme with crumbs. (You can do this the night before the party and stick the prepared glasses in the freezer if you like.) If you have a grill going (or even better, a firepit or chimenea), offer each guest a wooden skewer and three mini marshmallows to toast over the flame (put the grill on high for the best browning).

    My favorite place ever to get $5 martinis in Toronto is Eat My Martini at 648 College & Grace.
