Brown Butter, Shallot, and Thyme Risotto:

.5 cup arborio rice

1 shallot

2 cloves of garlic

1 tbsp butter

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp cooking wine

3 sprigs of thyme

5 cups chicken stock

Parmesan cheese

Finely mince shallot and garlic. In a large pan add in olive oil, followed by shallot, garlic, and salt and pepper. Let cook 2 minutes. In a separate pot bring chicken stock to a boil and reduce heat to low to keep warm. Add in rice and toast 1 minute. Add in .5 tbsp butter and let melt and brown. Deglaze pan with cooking wine and then add stock using a ladle. Slowly add stock after rice absorbs the previous ladle-full. Continue to add stock and cook until rice is creamy and cooked through. ~20-40 minutes. Add in remaining butter and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

1 oz vodka

1.5 oz strawberry pucker

4-5 oz fresh squeezed orange juice

Sprite to top

In a glass add ice. Follow the ice with the orange juice and vodka. Float on top the strawberry pucker. Top with sprite. Enjoy cold!
