May the Fourth Be With You with this Star Wars-inspired cocktail

Mezcal Unión

Every sci-fi fan knows that May the Fourth is a special event in the calendar, as this date has become synonymous with Star Wars. And sure, you could celebrate the day by putting on whichever of the sprawling universe of Star Wars movies is your favorite (the correct answer here is Empire Strikes Back, by the way) and annoying your friends and family by making wookiee noises at them all day -- and we absolutely recommend you do both those things -- but you could also toast the day with a themed cocktail.

It's not quite blue milk, but it's close -- this recipe from Mezcal Unión makes use of butterfly pea tea to give the drink a gorgeous purple color. But it isn't just a drink that's designed to look pretty, as it has complex and compelling flavors too, thanks to the mezcal and feijoa extract. The unusual flavors recall something that's a little bit alien, but still delicious and sophisticated.

Bagels by day, sushi by night: The era of the wildly adaptable restaurant

The trend means exciting new opportunities for diners

The Counter at Odell's Bagel

Restaurants are some of the most adaptable animals on the planet. When conditions shift, whether it be a lesser economy or a pandemic, they go chameleon. America's best restaurants simply have to; it's a means of survival.

Adaptability is very much on the current list of restaurant trends. Rising costs — both in terms of products and rent — are making things incredibly challenging for the industry at large. Couple that with trade wars and an uncertain future, and you've got a recipe for, well, significant pivots.

Make yourself a grown up cognac cocktail for National Lemonade Day

Lemons

The first Saturday in May each year is dedicated to National Lemonade Day, as the weather warms up and the demand for cool drinks soars. Kids are encouraged to try their hands at entrepreneurship by setting up their own lemonade stands, and everyone gets to enjoy a refreshing beverage. And as a European, even I must admit that American lemonade, with its sharp flavors from fresh lemons, is truly a cut above the soda-like beverage which we call lemonade on our side of the pond.

If you're looking for a more adult take on a lemonade, though, then you can always try out a cocktail. While there are plenty of classic cocktails which feature lemon juice -- most notably, the whole family of sours, which consist of lemon juice, a little sugar syrup, and a spirit -- there are fewer which take advantage of lemonade. With its bold flavors and plentiful sweetness, lemonade can be overpowering to some ingredients, so you need to use a spirit with plenty of body and flavor such as a cognac.
