When it comes to great cocktail recipes, a few things are usually present. You need a standup spirit, a good mixer, and often a nice bracing hit of citrus for balance. But what of the more exciting additions like prickly pear that we tend to overlook (or use in different arenas)?

The flowering cactus produces edible fruit that's both wildly colorful and downright delicious. The flavor is a bit like melon or strawberry, sometimes showing a touch of bubble gum or hibiscus. And it's a great thing to have in your cocktail-making arsenal, and not just as a garnish.

Fans of the timeless Manhattan cocktail know that it isn't finished until it's garnished with a cherry or two.

Wine pairings for cured meats
Volpi Foods Meats

As a meat and cheese lover, I'll gladly volunteer to make a charcuterie board for any event. There's something unique about creating a charcuterie board; no two boards ever come out the same. Crafting great charcuterie boards includes selecting the perfect pairings of meats, cheese, and accompaniments. Yet, the ideal evening is incomplete without the perfect cocktails and wines to pair with your charcuterie board. Volpi Foods' CEO, Lorenza Pasetti, shares her best tips and recommendations on selecting wine and cocktail pairings for every cured meat on your charcuterie board.
Why charcuterie and wine pairings matter

Making a charcuterie board comes with many decisions -- from spreads to arrangement to selecting a good variety of flavors. As such, it's easy to miss a key component in making all the flavors come together: your beverage.
