Got some leftover fresh sage from dinner prep? Use it in this easy and herbaceous limeade recipe from Food Network.

The holidays are all about the seasoning. Fill your glasses with this tequila-infused cocktail from Freutcake and the adults in the family will be begging for seconds. Spirits: silver tequila.
