Remix: The Moscow Mulenew
A fresh take on the classic American cocktail. Moscow’s been defanged by perestroika and capitalism, though; we’ve moved on to new bogeymen. This month's Remix reflects that with not just one new drink, but a pair of them, a drinkable Axis of Evil: the tart and refreshing Baghdad Burro and the kimchi-kicked Pyongyang Pony.

Remix: The Champagne Cocktailnew
Instead of a bitters-soaked sugarcube, Florida's February strawberries add sweetness (and a lovely pale-pink tinge) to the wine. To balance the sugar with pucker, I pair the berries with balsamic vinegar – like many of the best couples, strawberries and balsamic may not seem to have much in common, but they bring out the best in each other.

Limoncello Remixednew
Limoncello is a sweet, fiery Italian lemon liqueur. Our Remixed version takes a few shortcuts and adds a surprise – pompelmo (grapefruit) instead of limon, for a more refreshing, bittersweet liqueur that’s perfect mixed with Campari, chilled, or over ice. Drink in moderation – it’s strong stuff.

Books for Cooks: Have Yourself a Tasty Little Christmasnew
It's a perfect moment to give cookbooks for the holidays: They're relatively inexpensive and they'll keep home cooks safely cocooned, exploring the boundaries of the pantry rather than the limits of their bank accounts. So, don we now our vintage aprons (also a nice cook's gift, by the way) to recommend a few.

Fueled by Ramennew

I wondered if I could live for 30 days on the food stamp allotment without resorting to Wal-Mart, Hamburger Helper or the drive-through dollar menu. I put $162 in cash in an envelope and started the experiment.
