On the Rocks: Madras.
The Madras is a cocktail that reminds me of going to the 7-11 as a kid and mixing all the different kind of pop in one cup. Only I’m willing to bet that the result here is much more palatable…
Directions:
Fill a Champagne coupe with a dome of firmly packed, finely shaved ice and mark the ice dome into 7 equal segments. Over them pour, one liqueur to a segment, a teaspoon each of the following in the order indicated: apricot liqueur, green Chartreuse, Bénédictine, crème de cassis, crème de cacao, anisette, and dark Curaçao. Over the top of the ice dome pour 1 tablespoon Cognac. Sip through straws, tasting each liqueur separately first, then stir the mixture and savor the blend.

The Daily Eat: Cookies and Cream Ice Cream.
Cookies and Cream has always been one of my two go-to ice cream flavors. This recipe looks ridiculously easy – why don’t more people own ice cream makers?!

Rewind Coffee, Tea + Cocoa.
I’m a coffee lover right down to my very core, but I’d be lying if I said I loved Rewind‘s packaging for any other reason that the retro design. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure their products are equally amazing, but the package is definitely the big sell here. Oh, and the fact that their site mentions something about decaf being like kissing your sister is pretty awesome, too!

Marcus Walters.
UK illustrator Marcus Walters combines collage and drawing techniques in his work to create pieces with a very handcrafted feel. I love the end result of all that detail.
