Boozy Donuts available at Flex Mussels

Bama — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 20:17:54 +0000

Sunday breakfasts. Overnight stakeouts. Catered boardroom coup d’états.

You’ve been there.

And you’ve learned one thing: the coffee/donut relationship is still “strong to very strong.”

Well, today we’d like to alert you to a harsh mistress attempting to steal the donut away from the cup of joe: bourbon custard…

Prepare to (over) indulge in Boozy Donuts, an off-menu collection of warm donuts injected with some of your favorite cocktails, available now at Flex Mussels.

You always knew that if anyone were going to improve upon the donut, it would be a beachy seafood outpost that specializes in creative takes on mussel dishes. (Yup, sometimes it really is that obvious.)

Typically, you’d go cocktails first, and fried snacks second. But tonight, in the name of efficiency, you’ll combine. To start, you’ll want to rekindle memories of summer over a couple dozen oysters, a bucket of Provencal Mussels and a round of Blue Points.

And when that time comes, and the waiter tries to hand you a menu, wave it off. Instead, give a knowing wink and utter the words “Time to make the donuts.” What follows will be airy, rolled in sugar and injected with a spiked curd of Maker’s Mark Caramel, Blueberry Daiquiri, Absinthe Chocolate or Margarita.

We imagine the Moonshine Bear Claw can’t be far behind.

DROPPING BOMBS

Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes

Nothing says St. Patrick’s Day like a cupcake (other than beer, redheads or anything green), so the online bakers at Cacao Bakery have whipped up an Irish car bomb cupcake—a chocolate Guinness cupcake topped with Baileys ganache and stuffed with Jameson-spiked buttercream. Now if you just had something to drink with it…

Bananes Flambées at Les Halles

Bananes Flambées at Les Halles

The Heat: You’ll watch as a fire-wielding server wheels a dessert station to your table and spoons a simmering mixture of melted butter, sugar and black rum over a sliced banana. Then, another dose of rum, a tip of the pan and a burst of flame. This is how the French deal with unruly bananas.
The Heat Index: Medium


411:	Les Halles, 15 John St (near Broadway), 212-285-8585

Introducing the Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwich

Introducing the Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwich

You’ve long appreciated the subtle art of putting one junk food inside…another junk food (e.g., the Twinkie in a Popsicle). Holey Cream continues the tradition: they’ll slice a doughnut in half and stuff it with their homemade ice cream. Good luck getting through airport security with this thing.


411:	Holey Cream, 796 Ninth Ave (at 53rd St), 212-247-8400

Special Sauce

Introducing the Boozy Cannoli

In honor of Prohibition Day, the Lower East Side wizards behind game-changers like gingerbread and bacon chocolate cannoli are unveiling a new line of boozy cannoli in flavors like Irish Coffee, Mudslide and Limoncello. Don’t let the fact that Prohibition Day was actually Dec 5 ruin a good time.
