SAMPLE's Orgasmic Punch

Great for a party and loaded with ingredients (both intoxicating and unexpected), SAMPLE's General Manager, Patrick Wade, mixes up a concoction sure to make even Jezebel blush. If you're not up for a little at-home mixology, you can always stop by SAMPLE and have one made by the master mixologist himself.
SAMPLE's Orgasmic Punch
1 bottle white rum · 1/3 bottle white wine (preferably sweet) · 1/3 bottle triple sec · 4 oranges, juiced · 3 lemons, juiced · ½ cup organic honey · 1 vanilla bean, cut in half, seeds removed · 1oz ground nutmeg · 1 oz muira puama · 1 oz damiana · 1 orange studded with whole cloves ·1/2 cup dried rose petals · 1 pineapple · 1 cup pineapple juice
Core pineapple and slice into 1” pieces. Place on a baking sheet and roast at 400° until charred on the outside, rotating half way through to ensure even roasting (about 20 minutes in total). Cool. Blend with 1 cup of pineapple juice. Hold to side.
Add rum, wine, triple sec, and orange and lemon juice to spigotted mason jar or punch bowl. Stir gently. Add honey, vanilla bean (seeds and pod), cloved orange, nutmeg, rose petals, muira puama, damiana, dried rose petals and roasted pineapple puree.

Before returning to Buffalo, I often wondered what new additions I had missed in our city’s restaurant and bar scene. So highly recommended by many of my closest friends, Jimmy’s on Elmwood, the old Buffalo Barbeque and Brew, was on the top of my to-do bar bite restaurant list.
It has recently been taken over by Jimmy Hambridge, who has been involved with the establishment since it’s opening as the Brew in October of 2006, actually a day before that horrible storm. The Ji …
It should come as no surprise to YUM readers, that I have a passion for spices. You can expect to find me foraging through the city’s ethnic markets, hunting for treasures with which to restock my spice cabinet. The more exotic the spices, the more excited I am to try them. And excited is exactly the way I felt when I first discovered zatar.
Not to be confused with Za’atar (which is a sort of hybrid of thyme-marjoram-oregano), zatar is a traditional Middle Eastern aromatic …
If you’re craving something sweet, you’ve picked the right time to do it. Starting on Monday, June 23rd, Choco-Logo Confectionery Design will be kicking off its annual summer sale.

Specializing in corporate gifts, custom logo chocolates and private label products, Choco- …
Italian restaurants are much loved here in Western New York. People from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds cherish the hearty, homestyle flavors of this Mediterranean cuisine. However, for the large group of immigrant and first-generation Italians here in Buffalo, several of the local Italian restaurants miss the mark.

This is a very delicious drink. And they don't scimp on the booze.
I attended Sample's 1 year anniversary. Free drinks and food. For those of you that haven't been to sample. Go! Very fun place. I've never had a full blown dinner here, but the bite size food is tasty. The drinks are strong. And the service is great.....the owners are wonderful people, they moved back to buffalo to open this place.
One of my favorite places to go for drinks in ALL OF WNY!
