Ginger and Hibiscus Chocolates

If watching Wonka inspired you to make (more!) chocolates, then you might want to give these a try! My sister and Dad love white chocolate, and so whenever I make chocolates, I do make a batch of these for them, filling them with something sharp and tangy, which I think contrasts well with the sweetness and creaminess of the white chocolate. This year, I made these merry, bright and fragrant Ginger and Hibiscus Chocolates, which make a lovely gift to bring to any New Year's Party you're invited to!

Ingredients (makes 15 chocolates):

180 grams/6.35 ounces good quality white chocolate

Ginger and Hibiscus Jelly

I In a medium bowl over simmering water, melt 130 grams/4.5 ounces white chocolate, until smooth, shiny and silky. Remove from heat, and stir in remaining white chocolate with a spatula, to help chocolate cool. Then, return over simmering water, until smooth and slack again, to temper. Remove from the heat.

Using a clean brush (like a small paint brush), coat the bottom of sides of twelve indentations in a silicon chocolate mold with melted white chocolate. Chill in the refrigerator, half an hour, then reapeat, to make sure there is no uncoated spaces left. Return to the refrigarator, to chill and harden, another half hour.

Spoon about ½ to ¾ teaspoon of Ginger and Hibiscus Jelly into each white chocolate case, and return once again to the refrigerator to chill, a quarter of an hour.

Finally, spoon about a teaspoon of melted white chocolate onto the Jelly of each chocolate, spreading to the edges to form the base. Return to the fridge and chill overnight.

Enjoy these delicious Ginger and Hibiscus Chocolates with a cup of coffee or tea, or well-chilled Champagne!

December In Review

Well let’s start off with I’m stealing Li’s template.

What’s In My Cup?

AM: As of late I’ve been drinking black/earl grey tea w/ honey or drip coffee because too much caffeine has been giving me massive anxiety and OCD tics which we don’t even want to get into. I add 1 scoop of Agent Nateur’s holi(mane) which is just collagen powder w/ pearl powder. It actually really helps the evenness of my complexion in my skin. Then I add some hazelnut, english toffee, or vanilla stevia drops depending on the vibe I’m in each day and then my nut pod creamer. Also, you guys I’ve been putting my warm drinks in my ember cup I got for Christmas and it keeps it to the temperature I want for so long, I can shower, do my skincare, whatever and it’s still the same temp. 😭 life changing.

During the day: I’m drinking water with silica drops for thicker and healthier hair, ultima electrolytes in lemonade, and trace mineral drops. I rly want to try the LMNT??? Element??? (Idk..) electrolytes, but why do all the flavors sound like they taste bad.

During the holidays I have been partaking in an occasional sprite that I mix with white peach cranberry juice, cranberry sauce, frozen cranberries, and a sprig of rosemarry as a little mocktail vibe.

PM: I’ve been drinking teas. My favorites have been spearmint, hibiscus tea w/ honey, or elderberry healer by the company rishi.

What’s On My Plate?

AM: smoothies are my go to.. usually strawberry & banana with almond milk, cacao powder, inulin, flax seed, chia seeds, rice bran, pearl powder, chocolate protein powder, cacao nibs, and honey to make it taste like a chocolate covered banana/strawberry.

Pm: I have been rly into a couple things that I’m just rotating…

1. smash burgers on corn tortillas that have been all over TikTok lately. They’re just easy and take such little planning.

2. I marinate boneless, skinless chicken thighs in coconut aminos, salt, minced garlic and minced ginger from a jar and cook it in a pan with all the sauce from marinating. Add it as a dressing on top of a bed of lettuce, cilantro, green onions, sugar snap peas, cabbage slaw mix, and add vermicelli noodles if I’m feeling like I want some carbs.

3. Another one is chicken thighs skin rubbed w/ salt & garlic, fry up the chickens and then remove them from the pan add in black rice (super high in antioxidants) with minced ginger, garlic, let it soak in all the oils and then I add chicken stock, a can of coconut milk and lemongrass smashed. Then add the chicken back in and ignore it for 40 mins. ( this is just a recipe from Gwyneth Paltrow clean plate book which I kind of die for)

My mom and I made Julia Childs lamb for Christmas with green beans and an endive salad.

What’s On My Bookshelf?

Currently reading the 4th book in the “Magnolia Parks Universe” It’s called “The Great Undoing” the series starts out with a book about Magnolia Parks and BJ which is the most toxic but addicting love affair we’ve all had and the 2nd book goes on to Daisy Haites which is like crime lord familia, brother steals paintings from the louve type vibe with more love triangles between both worlds from different perspectives and the 3rd book goes back to Magnolia Parks and the 4th is now back to Daisy Haites.

What’s In My Playlist?

I’ve been into classical music or scores that have been evoking feelings of a past life or have been allowing me to just feel my feels. If not that I’m rly into the song High by Steven Sanchez .. hawt 🫡

What I’ve Been Up To?

I was going crazy for Christmas decorating I wanted it to feel like the North Pole, but honestly it also made me kind of depresssed. My expectations are always high for holidays. My sister never comes home for ANY holiday and always spends it with Lara’s dad side. We used to always spend Christmas night at my grandparents on my Dad’s side of the family and I think that makes the holiday feel lonely now that they’re gone and my uncle is in Boston. Usually we go over to my neighbors on Christmas Eve and she has this huge pasta party, but she cancelled cause she had a pinched nerve in her back and we ended up cooking her a huge lasagna and taking over chicken pot pies for her Christmas Eve + Christmas. I was over stimulated but not with Christmas joy. Happy to help, but I’m feeling exhausted. I enjoyed spending time with my parents and surprising my mom with a gift for her business my dad and I snuck around to get, but as sad as it is to say… I feel relief that Christmas is over and it’s time to bring in a new year.

I am severely dedicated to my physical therapy and my body now that I’m stationary and not traveling around. 3 days out of the week I’m at the clinic in tractions. One where I’m strapped in to the wall pulling my neck to the left and one with 25lbs pulling my neck forward and 20lbs pulling my head back to reintroduce the C curve into my spine. Then I have a ton of at home exercises they have me doing for my knees/ankles and spine as well everyday. It’s a holistic clinic so I’m going to see their nutritionist in January and go further cutting out foods and getting clear on what my body needs to be its highest and best self.

I got a pill organizer from Amazon cause I’m trying to be better about my supplements… it’s been life changing. I’ve been taking saffron 3 times a day to help mood stabilize and gaba to help calm my brain ( both life changing ), chlorophyll, heavy doses of omegas, vitamin d3k2, zinc, glycine which is a building block for collagen, pumpkin seed oil for long hair, and a lot of Bach essences to keep my brain as peaceful as possible.

I’m spending lots of time with my animals. One of my ducks is being a bully so we had to separate berry cause her leg is hurt and cherry won’t stop standing on her back pulling her feathers. We’re collecting about 7 eggs from our ducks and chickens per day.. which is crazy cause I can’t eat eggs anymore, so we’re over flowing with eggs. We have 2 strays in our basements that we are taming to hopefully adopt out or have as outdoor cats that come inside at night… only time will tell.

I finally bought an air doctor for Christmas and I feel like I’m in a pure oxygen tank the air feels so clean (I found a coupon code for $300 off if anyone is interested)

I’ve deep diving into astrology and doing moon rituals.

Every first of the month I’ve been blowing cinnamon through my door which I highly suggest for an abundance practice and washing your cards with cinnamon water.

Skin & Hair Saviors

Face reality is my tried and true. I’m afraid of anything else but I rly want to venture out. I’m going to start micro needling at home to help plump my skin & get rid of acne scars.

My red light/blue light therapy wand + my near infrared/red light therapy panel are saviors.

I use golabs rosemary hair oil any chance I have to let it sit and chill and I use her other oil on my ends and then pop it in a shower cap and let it simmer for at least an hour.

Virtue hair oil with keratin has been my go to before I braid my hair every night.

I’ve been using a ph balanced shampoo by k18 & a rice water conditioner called mykirei..

I also do a apple cider water rise on my scalp to balance PH after I shampoo and condition ( 4 parts water, 1 part acv)

Miss & love you all

Aly 💗

Stay Hydrated with these Delicious Non-Alcoholic Halal Drinks

Whether you're a practicing Muslim, someone wanting to scale back on your alcohol consumption, or simply in the mood for a relaxing drink that won't make you with a hangover, there are lots of non-alcoholic halal drinks to select from. In this guide, we'll introduce you to the wide variety of halal drinks available, from traditional beverages to modern concoctions. So, grab a glass and get ready to explore the planet of Halal drinks for events (Minuman halal untuk majlis).

Traditional Halal Beverages Let's begin with the tried-and-true halal drinks that have been enjoyed for centuries in Muslim countries. One of the most popular is Qahwah, a powerful coffee made out of cardamom and sometimes saffron. Another popular hot beverage is Sahlab, a creamy and sweet concoction created from ground orchid roots and topped with cinnamon and nuts. Sharbat is another traditional drink, a lovely and refreshing juice created from fruits like lemon, rose petals, and mint. The Rise of Halal Craft Sodas Lately, a new trend has emerged on the planet of halal beverages: craft sodas. These artisanal, non-alcoholic sodas are made with natural and organic ingredients, and are often inspired by traditional flavors from round the world. Some popular halal craft soda brands include Sipp, Q Drinks, and Fayrouz. These sodas come in a variety of flavors, from spicy ginger to sweet pomegranate, and are ideal for sipping on a warm day. Fruit Smoothies and Shakes Another popular selection for halal drinks are fruit smoothies and shakes. These beverages are perfect for an instant breakfast or as a snack between meals. You can easily make your own smoothies acquainted with fruits and a blender, or grab one at your local juice bar. Popular fruit smoothie flavors include banana, strawberry, and mango, while popular shake flavors include chocolate and vanilla. Mocktails If you're in the mood for something a tad bit more sophisticated, mocktails certainly are a great option. These non-alcoholic cocktails are created with a variety of juices, syrups, and other ingredients to create a refreshing and flavorful drink. Some popular halal mocktail recipes are the virgin mojito, the ginger beer cocktail, and the piña colada mocktail. These beverages are perfect for parties, brunches, or just a soothing evening at home. Tea and Infusions Finally, we can't just forget about tea and other infusions. From hot teas like Earl Grey and chai to iced teas like green tea extract and fruity herbal blends, you can find countless alternatives for halal tea lovers. You can even test out making your own herbal infusions, like hibiscus tea or mint-infused water.

Conclusion: As you can see, there are plenty of non-alcoholic halal drinks to pick from, no real matter what your tastes are. Whether you want traditional hot beverages, modern craft sodas, fruity smoothies, fancy mocktails, or simply a simple cup of tea, there's a halal drink on the market for you. So, next time you're in the mood for a stimulating drink, miss out the alcohol and give one of these simple halal options a try.

Hi Alice! Hope you got some sleep! I have a question for you today! I’ve seen that you like to drink tea and I’m curious, what is your favorite kind of tea? I am not a big tea drinker but, when I do have a cup, I like berry flavored tea, especially berry combos of strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries! Also, I was driving and my radio station played both “Black Or White” by MJ and “Let’s Groove”! Total jam fest on my way to the hotel! Have a great day/night!!<33

HELLO LOVE! i'm sorry it took me this long, these days were busy and i was sick, so i've been very slow at checking the messages! but i'm here now! <3

i love tea so much! there's always the typical "tea vs. coffee" thing but honestly, i love them both equally. i usually drink one or another depending on my mood! and tea is almost always a big yes!

about my favorite, i must say that i tend to like bitter flavors! black tea is my must, always! my favorite one is a homemade recipe of black tea with vanilla, two splashes of milk and a a bit of ginger essence! sometimes i don't put milk and i squeeze a bit of lemon on it instead! i used to live in london for some time and there i discovered this teashop that had one of its flavors named english rose, which was basically black tea and rose petals! the classic earl gray is good too! oh! lapsang souchong is good too! and the assam type too! there are some black teas mixed with chocolate essences that are very good too! also, my favorite non-black teas are chai and ginger!

and i also enjoy flavors made of fruits, specially the ones you mentioned, but i usually prefer those kind of flavors on iced-teas! when i'm having hot tea, i usually prefer bitter flavors, but my ice tea tends to be about fruits (like the wild berries you mentioned or hibiscus or so)! i also enjoy some iced black tea with lemon! honestly i love so many flavors of tea that i could bore you to death with them all hahahaha

from now on i will relate you to wild berries tea too! AND! i can't believe they played MJ and then let's groove! that is such a perfect combo! now i will listen to those too in your honor! thank you so much for the question, honey! it made me very happy to talk about this! <3333 i hope you're having a great day too! <333333

#asks: mjmacchio1991 #aww such an angel! <3 #about: tea

Heya I was wondering if you think it’s possible for anyone to be vegan? I’ve always been interested in trying but I have a lot of allergies (rice, corn, all types of melon, tomatoes, broccoli, nuts, seeds, peas, garlic, onion, chocolate, carrots, lettuce, sunflower seeds, strawberries, mango, pineapple, apples, and an oral allergy to bananas and avocados so I can only eat those cooked) that intimidate me out of it. Just curious if you have advice of any kind. Thanks!

Hello! First off, I have to say if you really want to go vegan then you can do it. Personally I believe that it is possible because most of what would change is the swap of meat for meat substitutes (many omnivore dishes contain ingredients that you are allergic to…also consider the fact that you’ll be ditching bad cholesterols :). I was also nervous about going vegan cuz i thought that my allergies to all nuts and many seeds would make things difficult (it seemed like a goodbye to all affordable forms of cheese–vegan or not). But I learned over the years that eating according to allergies (and other food choices that was better for my health–eg. plant based eating) is not a matter of restriction but finding alternatives (like a parent should do with a child with picky eating habits). I’ve become accustomed to tweaking recipes because of it. The biggest thing I would say that you would need to face is cooking more for yourself (but you may be used to that) and possibly costs (since you are allergic to some of the cheaper vegan foods). I can give my suggestions in three parts: allergen swaps, dish ideas, other eating tips.

i. Allergen Swap Ideas (considering similar taste, use, and/or nutritional value)Rice (easy replacement!) –> wheat flour, wheat germ, quinoa, barley, oats, pasta, couscous Corn –> cucumber, chickpeas, celeryMelons –> other fruits with high water content eg. grapefruit, blueberries, peaches, pears, pomegranatesTomatoes –> persimmons, olives, bell pepper, beets, sauces with different bases (red pepper, sweet potato)Broccoli –> cauliflower (if you can), brussel sprouts, artichoke, asparagus, celeryNuts & seeds –> chia seeds (if you can, i’m allergic to all but these)Peas –> beans (and there are so many to choose from), edamame, okraGarlic –> ginger, mushroomsOnion –> celery, bell peppers, fennel, celeriac, ginger, cumin (but if your allergy is only specific to traditional white onions and not other types of onion you can use shallots, chives, scallions)Chocolate –> carobCarrots –> squash, parsnips, beets, rhubarbLettuce –> cabbage, spinach, kale, collard greens, celery, argulaStrawberries –> raspberries, blueberries, grapes, blackberriesMango –> coconut, dragonfruit, Pineapple –> prickly pear, star fruit, jackfruit, kiwiApple –> peaches, plums, datesBanana –> plantain (if you can), oranges, full fat coconut milk (for making nice cream)

ii. Possible Dish IdeasSome vegan food staples:Baked fries (sweet potato, potato, parsnip, etc), hummus and corn-free chips, icecream (arrowroot powder + coconut cream) with date caramel sauce, pancakes, nut free granola (bars), mac n cheese, soups (so customizable!), chickpea omelette, mug cakes, sandwiches/subs, salads, casseroles, overnight oats, sweet potato pizza

iii. Other eating tips (generally for new vegans)-Caloric + nutritional intake are so crucial to get a hang of on a vegan diet. And with your allergies, many foods will be less accessible so you’ll want to compensate for that fact especially as you first try to navigate the lifestyle.-Supplemental foods: spirulina, moringa, carob, microgreens/sprouts, nutritional yeast, goji berries-Explore other cuisine-Berries for antioxidants-Teas (hibiscus, licorice, peppermint)-Listen to your body. Feed it if you feel hungry-Vitamin C –> helps iron absorption-Omega 3s –> soy products like tofu or edamame-B12 –> fortified plant milks and nutritional yeast-Get familiar with more herbs to give your dishes variety

Let me know if you have more questions :)

Unveiling the Best Suppliers of Halal Drinks

Whether you're a practicing Muslim, someone wanting to scale back on your alcohol consumption, or simply in the mood for a relaxing drink that won't make you with a hangover, there are lots of non-alcoholic halal drinks to select from. In this guide, we'll introduce you to the wide variety of halal drinks available, from traditional beverages to modern concoctions. So, grab a glass and get ready to explore the planet of Halal drinks for events (Minuman halal untuk majlis).

Traditional Halal Beverages Let's begin with the tried-and-true halal drinks that have been enjoyed for centuries in Muslim countries. One of the most popular is Qahwah, a powerful coffee made out of cardamom and sometimes saffron. Another popular hot beverage is Sahlab, a creamy and sweet concoction created from ground orchid roots and topped with cinnamon and nuts. Sharbat is another traditional drink, a lovely and refreshing juice created from fruits like lemon, rose petals, and mint. The Rise of Halal Craft Sodas Lately, a new trend has emerged on the planet of halal beverages: craft sodas. These artisanal, non-alcoholic sodas are made with natural and organic ingredients, and are often inspired by traditional flavors from round the world. Some popular halal craft soda brands include Sipp, Q Drinks, and Fayrouz. These sodas come in a variety of flavors, from spicy ginger to sweet pomegranate, and are ideal for sipping on a warm day. Fruit Smoothies and Shakes Another popular selection for halal drinks are fruit smoothies and shakes. These beverages are perfect for an instant breakfast or as a snack between meals. You can easily make your own smoothies acquainted with fruits and a blender, or grab one at your local juice bar. Popular fruit smoothie flavors include banana, strawberry, and mango, while popular shake flavors include chocolate and vanilla. Mocktails If you're in the mood for something a tad bit more sophisticated, mocktails certainly are a great option. These non-alcoholic cocktails are created with a variety of juices, syrups, and other ingredients to create a refreshing and flavorful drink. Some popular halal mocktail recipes are the virgin mojito, the ginger beer cocktail, and the piña colada mocktail. These beverages are perfect for parties, brunches, or just a soothing evening at home. Tea and Infusions Finally, we can't just forget about tea and other infusions. From hot teas like Earl Grey and chai to iced teas like green tea extract and fruity herbal blends, you can find countless alternatives for halal tea lovers. You can even test out making your own herbal infusions, like hibiscus tea or mint-infused water.

Conclusion: As you can see, there are plenty of non-alcoholic halal drinks to pick from, no real matter what your tastes are. Whether you want traditional hot beverages, modern craft sodas, fruity smoothies, fancy mocktails, or simply a simple cup of tea, there's a halal drink on the market for you. So, next time you're in the mood for a stimulating drink, miss out the alcohol and give one of these simple halal options a try.

Top Ten Christmas Drinks

Along with all the sparkling lights and festive decorations, one of the things I most look forward to each holiday season is the many delicious drinks that are served.Let’s check out some alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and find out which one is my favorite!

10. Apple Cider

I love the mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors of a hot, apple cider. On a cold evening with sparkling Christmas lights, a toasty drink like this warms the body and soul.

9. Mulled Wine

This isn’t a drink I see commonly in the USA but one I enjoyed in Austria. They may drink it elsewhere, as well. The base is red wine, then spices like anise star or cinnamon are added, and topped off with orange slices.

It’s a hot beverage, and because of the spices and wine, it leaves you feeling warm and cozy. Mulled wine is often served at parties or outside at the lovely Christmas markets.

8. Hot Chocolate

What’s a list without this classic? Hot cocoa is a wonderful hit for all ages! At my house, we often drink Mexican hot chocolate with all the yummy spices, but the pure chocolate version topped with whipped cream is also delightful.

7. Hot Buttered Rum

This is the ultimate comfort food drink! Prepared with rum, spices, and of course butter, this drink reminds me of a paranormal romance alpha male.Sexy, spicy, and served warm, it’s sure to knock your socks off with its smooth flavor.

6. Holiday Martini

There are so many versions of a holiday martini. What caught my eye were the lovely colors these beverages display. Red cranberry, creamy, snickerdoodle, pecan, the list goes on and on!

5. Eggnog

Smooth, creamy, and sweet, what’s a holiday without eggnog? With a mix of nutmeg and light texture, it’s a perfect dessert beverage. And if you like it spiked, don’t forget the brandy or cognac.

4. Raspberry Bubbly

So what if you need to make a toast? Check out this lovely drink made with grape juice, and frozen raspberries. And, if you want it alcoholic, that’s an easy twist to arrange. So simple, yet so pretty.

3. Booze Grinch Punch

Omg. You’ve got to look this one up to see the color alone! Whoever thought of mixing lime Kool-Aid, limeade, and juice, created an amazing holiday drink that looks good enough to make virgin or alcoholic. It just sounds so tasty, and it’s fun-looking! (See below.)

2. Mexican Christmas Punch

Another wonderful drink some people might not have access to, but worthy of mentioning. I know it from my Mexican family, though some other countries might drink it as well. It’s made with hibiscus flowers, tamarind, a variety of fruits, and spices plus sugar cane. Many people make it virgin, and some like to add alcohol. If you ever get a chance to try this tangy, sweet, and warming drink, I highly recommend it!

1. Salted Caramel Mocha or Peppermint Mocha.

You might be rolling your eyes right now, like how is this lady making coffee her number one choice? LOL! I have a great reason so let me explain. Every other drink in this post I might enjoy once, maybe twice, or maybe not at all during the year. But coffee on the other hand is a daily necessity and joy for me, and I ADORE holiday coffee drinks! My favorite holiday coffee drink is Salted Caramel Mocha, but I added Peppermint Mocha for other coffee fans.

Thanks for reading my holiday drinks post. If you liked any of them, search by name on Google, and they will pop right up. Delish had A LOT of party drink ideas! Happy Holidays and here’s the Grinch Punch Recipe.

Grinch Punch Recipe

Ingredients:• 2 packets Kool-Aid Lemon Lime mix• 1 Can Frozen Limeade Concentrate• 4 cups pineapple juice• 1-liter ginger ale• 2 Cups Sugar• 8 Cups Water• And if adding alcohol, 2 cups vodka• Ice according to your taste• Red sanding sugar, for rimming your glasses

Preparation

1. Combine the Kool-Aid, limeade, water, sugar, and pineapple juice.Stir to combine completely. Refrigerate until ready to serve.2. When ready to serve, combine ginger ale with the juices.3. Serve in red sugar-rimmed glasses.

Excerpt

I narrowed my eyes at Damien. “Does that mean we would have to work together?”

Damien smirked. “Yes.”

I groaned. As it was, Damien set my nerves on edge in so many different ways. I wasn’t sure I could stand to be close to him. Every f*cking day. And the way he touched me? His hands on my hair? My senses swam when I recalled that embrace.

“Though I don’t like the way I was thrust into this situation, I believe you now. Except for the bracelets. I don't know if you put them on my arms or if they’re even still there. But what can I do to help?”

He raised his eyebrows, and a flash of heat blazed in his eyes. “Thrust, huh? I like your choice of word.”

My cheeks burned, and Iwas sure I was turning all shades of red.

Then, as usual, his expression snapped back to ice. “But this is no game.”

I opened my arms wide. “I'm aware of that. Explain it to me. What would I have to do?”

Still holding the folder, he crossed his arms and jutted out his chin. “Give up your life and join the FBI.”

I frowned at him. “The Federal Bureau of Investigation? You work with them?”

Trendy beer names, invented by neural network

I train neural networks, which are a type of machine learning algorithm that look at example data and learn to generate more like it. There’s little I have to do other than present a neural network with examples to look at, and it deduces its own rules, often applying them in weird and unexpected ways. Just based on what it sees in the training data, a neural network can generate recipes, names of metal bands, or names of kittens.

Earlier, I trained a neural network to generate names of craft beers, thanks to Ryan Mandelbaum of Gizmodo, who inspired this project, and Andy Haraldson who extracted hundreds of thousands of beer names from BeerAdvocate.com. I trained it separately on beer names from different categories, and soon it had figured out to produce distinctive types, including:

Stouts:

Shunkall Midnight Shale Spulgican’s Chocolate Coconut Pamper

IPAs:

Yampy Dang River Borb!

A bunch of semi-plausible but nonexistent beers resulted. Then I heard from Old Nation Brewing in Williamston, Michigan, who were almost finished brewing a new beer, but still hadn’t managed to find a name for it.

They explained what kinds of keywords they were looking for: Juice, haze, New England, Vermont, citra, Belgium, spicy, clove, saison, farmhouse, “all these trendy new hazy IPA names”. I searched my database for any beer names having to do with these keywords, and threw them all into the mix for the neural network. It worked. But before I share with you the name they chose, let me first share: the rejects.

Now, not all of these were terrible. Although some of them definitely were.

To get a sense of what was in the dataset, let’s start with the lowest-creativity output setting. These are the beer names that the neural network felt best exemplified the original dataset. As you can see, there are a lot of saisons. There’s also a lot of French, although not so many examples that the neural network ever quite got the hang of French articles (I sympathize).

Saison De La Saison Saison De Saison Saison Du Saison Saison De Le Petite Saison Farmhouse Saison De L'Imperial Saison Chardonnay Barrel Aged Saison De Saison Saison De La Barrel Aged Saison Barrel Aged Saison De La Saison Saison De La Series Saison D'Ete Saison De L'Autimne Saison Du Ferme Saison De La Lemons Saison Du Beer Saison Du Bier Saison Du Bear Saison Du Farmer Saison De Man Saison De Mountain Saison Du Chard Saison Du Pant Saison De Life Saison De La Mort Monkey Free Stand Saison

At a higher creativity level, we see more farms and tables (and oddly, monkeys). The French, if anything, gets more questionable. The quality of names has maybe - maybe improved. And they’ve somehow ended up spookier.

Sunshine Muster Saison Stick Lake Rock The Sun Saison Black Bot Saison Farmer's Blend Sunny Farm French Saison De Pants Saison Du Liver Winter Monkey Saison Du Pies Field Peach Saison Friends Lich Saison Primitia Molassic Saison Strange Biere De Table Saison Saison Du Le Pencher Say The Table Forest Monk Saison De Chine Summer Death Creeping North Saison Saison De Boo Spring The Dead Saison Series De Sucker Saison Firetementus Monkey Saison Saison De Lo Parpy Saison Du Carl Saison

At the next-highest creativity level, the good names have gotten better, and the bad names have gotten a lot worse. Oddly, although it doesn’t explicitly appear in the dataset, the neural network has inferred the existence, and importance, of chard. Some of these look like they could be My Little Ponies.

Fongelmorenda Storm Fink Silent Plow Side Road #1 Speltranoux Winter Blood Star Dance Dandarina Britched Rye Saison Bomble Saison Side Creek Saison A Shit Farmhouse Ale Red Suck Mas Saison Dark Grave Saison Farm Fight Belgian Chard Five Bool Brown Hibiscus Vintumbland Farm Stone Hunking Of Mist Barrel Aged Clander Friend Saison Fromp Fleur De Celloquence Forress Crogion's Swill Saison

At an even higher creativity setting, the neural network’s unpredictability increases. It begins making up more words. It begins swearing. It starts taking liberties with English, as well as French, grammar. Old Nation Brewing chose a name from this creativity level.

Summer Dangs Saison Flasha Plaraggina Farmen's Are No. 10 Ginger Mauustic Saison La Barrel Toee Saison Flopphive Ixpicy Touranhome The Slow Ale From The To Don't The Mountain Pogle Voe Love Mutty Mab Farmhouse Ale Kreathertag Haburia Grapecart Farmer Lure Poply Bitch Hoepolo S Mocket Clothberry Ale Speciel Farmhouse Ale Green The Wosk Rooly Ganger Dry-Hopped Clow Ride City Saison Series: Barrel Oged In Ermeds's Oit Bittirges Burcumber Jane Rad Sunshine Bear Chroee The Thangbaile Daving Of Du-Shandburs Fucksing Pear Farmhouse Ale Rednock White Bunch Over Hoppy Trick Saison The Sliger

At this highest creativity setting, I stopped. Perhaps you can understand why.

ChiphooolBoi Nerlious Mayycone Funky Ever varumper You Saison De Mage Clushing Fleur Dull? Beoobegie Nard Gel Mar Blick Disc Saison Barrel Aged Flaribrest Stutty Rye Undonchop Plop Aged The Sprong Greenhunke Mal?

So, what did Old Nation Brewing finally choose? I introduce to you the very first beer named by a neural network:

The Fine Stranger

Old Nation is pleased to introduce The Fine Stranger! This unique beer is the latest in the New Orthodox Series of beers. A blend of Old World and New, The Fine Stranger combines a strong, peppery, fruity Belgian Saison yeast strain with the low-bitterness/high-flavor hop goodness of the New England style. We added a special hop blend of Mandarina Bavaria and Vic's Secret in the boil and double dry-hopped it as well. The result is a slightly peppery, fruity hopped beer with the characteristic New England Haze that New Orthodox beers are known for.

Available now if you’re lucky enough to be able to shop for beer in Michigan.

8 Boozy Recipes To Spike Your Favorite Starbucks Order

Before summer comes to a close, we’re drinking all the iced and frozen cocktails we can get our hands on. But since the ongoing pandemic has turned us all into home bartenders — and since Starbucks has over 14,000 U.S. locations offering over 80,000 drink combinations — we’ve decided to get creative by boozifying some of our favorite drinks.

In each recipe below, we’ve spiked 12-ounce (“Tall”) Starbucks iced teas, coffees, and Frappuccinos with liqueurs, wines, hard seltzers, and spirits. A standard pour for spirits and liqueurs is 1.5 ounces. When using wine and hard seltzer, we suggest a 1-to-1 ratio of booze to the original beverage.

Each recipe serves two, but can easily be scaled up or down depending on personal preference. When making these drinks on the go, simply ask your barista for an extra cup to make for easy sharing. Read on for our sweet suggestions.

Iced Pineapple Matcha + Rum

Health cleanse meets beach vacay in this refreshing iced drink. Ginger and pineapple flavors, combined with earthy (and caffeinated matcha), make for an ideal daytime sipper. Rum takes this drink to the next level, adding to its tropical feel and making it the perfect pair with a boozy brunch.

Pour the original drink into two glasses, stirring as much rum as you’d like into each. Add some extra ice, stir, and enjoy.

Pink Drink + Sparkling Rosé

This viral drink needs an equally Insta-worthy companion: rosé. The Pink Drink is made with strawberry, acai, and passionfruit flavors, and coconut milk gives this sipper its creamy texture. Light, fruity rosé complements this drink’s springtime flavors, while bubbles add levity to this otherwise creamy drink. Pour sparkling rosé as desired into the drink for a spritzy, low-ABV treat ideal for day drinking.

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew + Baileys

Though it‘s typically thought of as a late-fall treat, Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte may be returning to stores earlier than ever this year, with a potential release date of Aug. 28. But while we love a good PSL, we’re sticking to iced drinks until at least mid-September. If you’re craving pumpkin but want to avoid melting in the summer heat, try out the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, sweetened with vanilla syrup and topped with foamy pumpkin cream. Add a shot of Baileys Irish Cream to spice up your weekend mornings (or a WFH afternoon — we won’t judge).

Passion Tango Tea Lemonade + Lemon Hard Seltzer

Light, fruity, and bubbly, this drink is everything a summer cocktail should be. Passion Tango Tea Lemonade is rich with flavors of hibiscus, lemongrass, lemon, and apple. For a drink that serves two, combine the drink with a can of lemon hard seltzer — which accentuates this drink’s citrus flavors — pour into two glasses, and enjoy outside.

Caramel Frappuccino + Bourbon

This blended coffee drink is full of caramel goodness, making it the perfect pair for honeyed bourbon. Stir as much bourbon as desired into this coffee milkshake, or add to the blender with extra ice. Share with a friend or drink it yourself.

Iced Golden Ginger Drink + Tequila

For a tropical vibe, add some tequila to this spiced, fruity beverage. Pineapple, coconut, ginger, and turmeric flavor this golden sipper. Citrusy tequila adds depth to this drink and makes it an ideal poolside libation.

Iced White Chocolate Mocha + Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur

Looking for something decadent? This chocolatey, creamy cocktail is even tastier with a boozy kick. Add some Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur to this sweet, coffee drink, and you’ll never drink an Espresso Martini again.

Strawberry Acai Lemonade Refresher + Vodka

Need an extra boost? Forget Red Bull vodkas. For a drink to pair with picnics in the park, try spiking a Strawberry Acai Lemonade Refresher. With sweet notes of strawberry, passionfruit, and acai, this caffeine-forward sipper can turn into your new favorite cocktail with the addition of vodka. And if you want to lean into the beverage’s sweetness, try it with a flavored vodka, such as Deep Eddy Lemon.
