Tuesday, July 14th

Fittingly falling on France’s Bastille Day, July 14 honors a true French icon. The story begins in 1827, when Jean-Baptiste Lapostolle founded a fine fruit-liqueur distillery near Paris. Decades later, in 1880, his family’s Louis-Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle did something considered downright avant-garde: he married rich French Cognac to the rare, bitter essence of Caribbean bigarade oranges — and the first bottle of Grand Marnier was born. It quickly became the toast of the Ritz Paris and the Savoy, and remarkably, the recipe hasn’t changed since.

Raise a glass with our Grand Marnier Sangria — the perfect pour for a warm July evening.

Grand Marnier Sangria

Servings: 8

Directions

1. In a pitcher, stir in wine, Grand Marnier and honey. Add fruit, cover and refrigerate for at least 40 minutes.

2. Add sparkling water to the pitcher right before serving.

3. Fill glasses with ice and pour sangria. Garnish with a strawberry.

Ingredients

1 bottle, (750 ml) chardonnay or pinot grigio wine

1/2 – 3/4 cup Grand Marnier

1/2 cup fresh blueberries

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

2 kiwis, peeled and sliced

1 cup chopped pineapple

2 small peaches, sliced

1/4 cup honey

3 cups sparkling water

Ice for serving

Cows do a lot for us — so on July 14, we’re giving them their due. Cow Appreciation Day celebrates the cows, and the local dairy and farming families, behind the cheeses we all love.

At our San Carlos store, we’re celebrating in style:

Cowgirl Creamery’s beloved cheese line is on sale all day, plus special fun for the kids. Stop by, say moo, and taste why we’re so grateful.

It’s National Ice Cream Month, and this week we’re shining the spotlight close to home. We’re featuring Marianne’s Handmade Ice Cream Sandwiches — two chewy oatmeal cookies hugging a generous scoop of Marianne’s premium ice cream, all dipped in rich chocolate. It’s summer in a single bite.

Marianne’s is the real deal:

locally made, handcrafted ice cream that’s been perfected since 1947. Every batch reflects a labor of love — ingredients prepped by hand, flavors mixed by hand, and time-honored techniques that deliver the richest, creamiest, most delightful scoops around. It’s exactly the kind of local craftsmanship we love to bring to your table.

Come taste for yourself — sampling at our San Carlos store on July 17th, at 11am-2pm.

I scream, you scream — you know how it goes. July is National Ice Cream Month, and there’s no better excuse to treat yourself. Whether it’s a backyard cone, a midnight bowl, or a float on a hot afternoon, this is the month to enjoy it.

Here’s a bit of trivia for your next cookout: nobody knows exactly who invented ice cream, but the earliest versions go all the way back to Emperor Nero’s Rome (A.D. 54–68), when ice and snow were hauled down from the mountains and sweetened with honey. Alexander the Great is said to have done the same with nectar. Twenty centuries later, we’ve upgraded the freezer situation considerably.

Cool off with an old favorite or be brave and try something new — stop by and grab a pint (or three) this week.
