Do you ever expertise one thing in a restaurant and attempt to recreate it at residence? I do that on a regular basis! The primary place I’m going to assist me is eBay. At this time I’m excited to indicate how you could find all the things on your residence, backyard – and kitchen – on eBay!
This submit is sponsored by eBay. Thanks for supporting the manufacturers I like!
Mercat Bistro in Dallas is the quaintest little bistro with the prettiest linens and yummiest meals. I’m a francophile at coronary heart so simply adore all the things about this restaurant, together with their signature “péché mignon” cocktail. I discovered all of the issues I wanted to recreate their bistro look and their spritzy summer time cocktail on eBay.
Most objects on eBay nowadays are new in field objects so discovering wine glasses and the ice molds to make the cocktail was tremendous simple. And I’ve to say this: the perfect funding for residence entertaining is a 6′ folding desk. (Or two!) You should use it once you want further seating or one other place to serve meals or arrange a bar. You may get new on eBay with free delivery right here.
However I like that eBay additionally sources the hard-to-find items you possibly can’t simply go seize at your native massive field retailer. Issues like these brass candlesticks that I’ve used a lot for entertaining. Additionally objects like vintage linen tablecloths, linen french striped hand towels (which I exploit as napkins), and white ceramic pitchers that make contemporary summer time flowers from the grocery retailer appear like one thing you’d see in a Paris bistro. All these finds are issues that I exploit time and again for decor and entertaining.
The péché mignon cocktail is the right summer time cocktail as a result of it consists of a (massive!) frozen ice ball filled with summer time fruits and juice. The piece de resistance comes once you pour champagne over the ice sphere. It’s so enjoyable for visitors to observe and is a positive dialog starter!
To make the cocktail, muddle pineapple, peaches, and raspberries collectively.
Add blueberries then spoon combination into ice molds.
Put in a mint leaf after which fill the mould with orange juice.
