It is our 10 year blog birthday! Here are our top 3 recipes from the last 10 years, and more recipes that you love!
Today Gastronom is celebrating our 10th birthday! Jay and I are finding it hard to believe that 10 years ago we started our blog! We started it first as a restaurant write up blog, and then it evolved into a food blog, and then now into this iteration – cocktail recipes and spirited travel. We wanted to make craft cocktails easy and attainable at home, and hope that we have done that for you!

10 Year Blog Birthday
When we started I would have never thought the blog would be my full time job and a passion project at the same time. I definitely wanted a hobby and something to do that wasn’t be just a stay at home mom. We started this blog, (after talking about it for a while), 4 days after our youngest sons’ first birthday, and he just turned 11!
Thank you for trusting us and letting us show you tasty recipes as well as bar techniques that work at home. We appreciate your visits here to our site, as well as social media. You have no idea how much your support means to us! Jay and I love that we can work together, and love sharing our love of cocktails with you, our reader, too!
Top 3 Recipes
The top 3 recipes from our website from the last 10 years! Help us celebrate our 10 year blog birthday with these 3 cocktails!
This Peanut Butter and Jelly drink is a sweet Old Fashioned cocktail that is a lot of fun, especially since we pout a tiny PB & J sandwich on top as a garnish. We combine peanut butter whiskey with grape simple syrup for a liquid classic sandwich!
This one has been popular all year long for a few years, and the perfect No 1 to highlight our 10 year blog birthday!
if you want another classic sandwich inspired cocktail (also with peanut butter whiskey) try our Elvis cocktail! If you want some grape cocktails, try our Grape Mule or our Concord Negroni Flip!
This Lavender Bee's Knees recipe is an oldie but a goodie! One of our OG recipes on the site, this lavender twist on the classic Bee's Knees cocktail is full of floral flavor! A Bee's Knees is a classic drink with gin, honey and lemon!
For other lavender cocktails try our Lavender Collins, Lavender Old Fashioned or Blackberry Lemonade Gin Sour! Or, if you want another Bee's Knees try our Honey Bee's Knees or Hot Honey Bee's Knees!
This color changing cocktail is our 3rd most popular cocktail recipe! This blue and purple drink is using the base of the classic Moscow Mule, but we improved it. Vodka, lime juice and ginger beer combine as well as some butterfly pea tea, which reacts to citrus juices, causing the blue to turn purple!
We have a lot of Moscow Mule recipes on our blog - with vodka, gin and bourbon! Some great ones with vodka are the Yule Mule, Orange, or Rosemary Grapefruit! A great one with gin is our Grapefruit Smoked Salt Mule, or with Amaretto - Campfire Mule. Or, bourbon in our Maple Syrup Mule and Blackberry Sage Kentucky Mule perfect for celebratin our 10 year blog birthday!
So there are the top 3 recipes! Have you tried any of the 3? None, all of them?
We always try to make recipes we think you would like, so we hope in the last 10 years we have made drinks and recipes you like! Plus, we hope you like the addition of travel posts showing you places we have been, and places we think that you would like too!
