HOUSTON – It’s always happy hour when our friend Tanji Patton of Goodtaste TV stops by studio B.
She’s dishing on some refreshing ways to stay cool this summer, like turning the classic Aperol spritz cocktail into a boozy, frozen treat (for the adults).
Think of it like a grown-up ice pop!
Pro tip - Tanji suggests making these in advance and letting them chill in the freezer for at least 12 hours, because they take longer to come together with the alcohol in them.
Another summer cocktail to add to the mix is Gray Whale Gin’s Oceanside Punch.
Gray Whale has a special promotion going on right now.
Proceeds from the Gray Whale Gin Coastal Refreshment Kit support Oceana, the world’s largest organization dedicated to ocean conservation.
The limited-quantity bundle includes a bottle of Gray Whale Gin, Sand Cloud beach towel, 32 oz. acrylic pitcher and recipe card for 2 delicious large format cocktails for the pitcher, all for just $89.99.
When it comes to food - Tanji recommends these lighter bites from TRIBUTE at The Houstonian and Alora Restaurant and Bar.
And, for peach fans - you’ll want to try Alora’s Saigon Peaches. Featuring Caravedo Pisco, Peach Shrub, Vietnamese yogurt and condensed milk.
Tanji always finds great pieces to add to her seasonal table at Kuhl-Linscomb.
She also discusses her podcast, “Goodtaste for the Soul.”
You can watch Goodtaste with Tanji this weekend on KPRC 2.
Tune in Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and Sunday at 5:30 a.m.
