In the February issue of 7x7, we pulled off a boar hunt and feast of epic proportions in Healdsburg ("The Omnivore's Delight," p. 44). Our lovely guests contributed to a beautiful potluck, and they've generously shared the recipes for some of our favorite dishes. They're proportioned for a crowd, so get the gang together for a delicious winter fête, and enjoy!
Our wonderful photographer, Eric Wolfinger, suggested this appetizing cocktail for a stunner that could satisfy a hoard of very thirsty guests. The original recipe comes from James Beard-nominated barman, Bobby Heugel of Anvil Bar & Refuge in Houston. We riffed on his Apparent Sour by mixing it for 12, using a budding sprig of rosemary for added flourish, and a moniker to match the mood. Cheers!
