How to clean a stovetop: A step-by-step guide

Does your summer drink need a little texture? Turns out, you can make a classic cocktail recipe foamy in a multitude of ways. Best, it's not an overly complicated endeavor and the results are delicious.

This recipe is timed nicely, as National Whiskey Sour Day is coming up on August 25th. It's the work of Scottish brand Monkey Shoulder. And there's even a version involving aquafaba, the liquid leftover from cooking chickpeas that helps create the foamy texture.

I admit, it's rare that a bottle of wine goes unfinished in my house, but it's been known to happen on occasion. Especially after a small party or get-together when several bottles have been opened and there's a splash of each leftover in multiple bottles. In these cases, rather than tossing it down the sink, I transform leftover wine into something special, be it a cocktail ingredient or a delicious marinade for my favorite flank steak recipe.  Leftover wine is basically my kitchen secret weapon, as there are so many delicious ways to repurpose it. Whether it’s red, white, or rosé, a splash of leftover wine always finds a way to make itself useful. These are my favorite ways to use up that extra splash or two.

As a lover of both coffee and espresso, it is nearly impossible to choose which beverage I prefer.

This challenging predicament comes with lots to consider, according to Kevin Carter, Senior Product Manager at Hamilton Beach. Below, Carter shares what questions to consider as you decide which home coffee appliance is best for you.
