 Chocolate raspberry truffle martini from William Morse at the Fish House. (Tony Giberson/GoPensacola.com) With the vast array of liqueurs and flavor-infused liquors available today, one can create an unlimited assortment of savory cocktails. Long gone are the days of the simple gin and tonic, bourbon and water and Scotch and soda.
If you can think of a flavor, then I can almost guarantee there is a liquor or liqueur produced that portrays that same profile.
It is with this limitless range of products that your favorite bartender can so effectively combine two, three, even four or more ingredients to ultimately offer you a drink that tastes like a peppermint patty, a pineapple upside down cake or even a caramel-coated apple.
Here at The Fish House, we have taken advantage of this assortment of ingredients to create a tempting dessert drink menu (among others). On this menu you’ll find drinks such as a tiramisu martini, a white chocolate-blueberry martini and my favorite, the chocolate raspberry truffle, which combines a coffee and chocolate liqueur and a black raspberry liqueur as the main flavor-imparting ingredients.
CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY TRUFFLE
Tall glass of ice
1 ounce Stolichnaya vodka
.75 ounce Kahlua
.75 ounce Chambord
Cream or whole milk, to fill glass
Combine all ingredients and shake to thoroughly mix. Top off with a bit of whipped cream.
If you are inclined to try a cocktail with some more exotic and truly unique liqueurs, come down to The Fish House or Atlas Oyster House and ask for our full drink menu. I’m sure you’ll find something to suit your taste.

Boys & Girls you are going to want to hang up that tired, old Cosmopolitan and give this drink a shot. Nothing says summer
 The watermelon gimlet available daily at The Fish House. like an ice cold watermelon and nothing is more quenching and refreshing than a good squeeze of lime, so this drink is perfect for those hot, sultry summer nights.
There are a couple versions for this drink, just depends how fancy you want to be…we’ll start with the simple method:
In a rocks glass filled with ice pour 1 1/2 oz watermelon vodka (I like Three Olives), about 1/4 oz of lime juice and top with soda water. Give it a stir and garnish with a lime wedge. Easy Peasy
For a little fancier…
in a shaker can, muddle 4 lime wedges. Add 2oz watermelon vodka and top with ice. Give it a shake and either strain into a martini glass or pour over fresh ice into a rocks glass. Top with soda water and garnish with a lime.
For your socialite garden party…
Buy a watermelon and cut in half. Use a very small melon-baller and ball out about 25-30 small watermelon balls. Put in a dish in a single layer and freeze. In a large pitcher, muddle a bunch of limes, maybe 3 limes, cut up and add your watermelon vodka; hold in the fridge until party-goers arrive. Strain just before service. When it’s time to serve, set out your martini glasses and put 4 or 5 frozen watermelon balls in each glass. Pour your gimlet into each glass and garnish with a lime, in this case, a twist might look better.
ENJOY!

Recipe by Chef Jim Shirley – Special to Bella
 Avocado and crab chilled soup takes the edge off the summer heat. Photo by Shelley Yates As the weather heats up, we like to cool down. So the Fish House overlooking Pensacola Bay rolls into “chill” season. Refreshing light broth-based soups and chilled vegetable soups are perfect for lunch this time of year. This refreshing chilled soup is a great make-ahead party food for warm summer nights.
1 quart chicken stock
2 elephant garlic cloves minced
3 tablespoons minced Vidalia onion
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 Poblano pepper roasted, peeled and seeded
1 Serrano pepper roasted peeled and seeded
3 avocados peeled and seeded
2 cups regular whipping cream
½ cup yogurt (more…)

 West Indies Crab “Martini” by Chef Jim Shirley
In this meltdown weather, it’s always a good thing to serve cold appetizers. This one — a take on our favorite West Indies salad — never gets turned down. I make the marinade separately, and give it enough time to take the edge off the onions, which keeps the crab flavors in the front. A well–iced bottle of Marquis de Gelida (a great version of cava, Spain’s answer to champagne) will pair up well with this little jewel.
1 pound fresh jumbo lump blue crab meat
1 medium white onion, finely minced
2 ripe avocados in thin slices
3 tablespoons key lime juice
4 ounces olive oil
2 tablespoons cane sugar (more…)

Special to the News Journal – Julio Diaz
 Trina's Piña Colada Pie - photo by Katie King We’ve all heard the phrase “as American as apple pie.” But while apple pie is tasty, its golden-brown hue doesn’t quite fit in with our nation’s patriotic color scheme.
So this year, why not fill your July 4 dessert table with pies that reflect the colors of Old Glory?
We got three local pie experts — Becky Jordan of Bodacious Pies & Bakery in Milton, pastry chef Trina Confusione of The Fish House in Pensacola, and Eli and Sarah Miller of A&N Blueberry Farm in Molino — to each share a colorful recipe for each color of the American flag. We’re sure these recipes will make you want to stand up and salute.
Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie
9-inch pie tin
1 prebaked pie crust (Bodacious Pies uses puff pastry, but a butter crust works, too)
8 ounces cream cheese (more…)

Special to The Pensacola News Journal
 The Hummer / John Blackie/jblackie@pnj.com Take a glass of Champagne, any Champagne, add 2 ounces of orange juice and garnish with a slice of orange and you have a mimosa. Add 1 1/2 ounces of crème de cassis to a glass of wine and you have a kir. Add the same crème de cassis to a glass of Champagne and you have a kir royale. Pour 1 1/2 ounces of Chambord (a French liqueur) into a glass of Champagne, garnish with raspberries, and you have a great kir royale.
What?
You’ve been there, done that — in the ’80s.
In that case, I’ve got a new twist. An American liqueur called Hum — made from rum infused with hibiscus, fresh ginger, green cardamom and kaffir lime — added to a crackling cold glass of sparkling Rosé is called a hummer, and is the summer kir for the new age. Pop a cork and give it a try.

By Trina Confusione special to the Pensacola News Journal
 Strawberry Cake by Trina Confusione of The Fish House. / Katie King/kking@pnj.com For this article, I thought I would do a recipe that I am currently preparing at The Fish House and Atlas Oyster House. I have had a lot of requests from people wanting to buy a whole cake, so I thought I could share this simple recipe with you. It is my husband’s favorite. He has never cared for chocolate cake, so I put this together for him one birthday, and it has been a huge hit ever since.
It is really easy to make this cake any size you want; just be sure the pans you use are grease-free, because the cake has to cling to the side of the pans in order to rise. This cake has to be kept refrigerated, but it travels well on ice in a cooler — perfect for picnics.
