A Day in the Life of Alaskan Mushers

A day in the lifeWe headed to Alaska to test out our favorite winter gear and learned a thing or two about racing a team of dogs in the world’s foremost sled race, the Iditarod.

Start Something

Start Something

A resolution, well, that’s a lot of pressure. We make grand plans, set big goals, write out long lists. And then, when we don’t accomplish it all we beat ourselves up. So this year, we resolve to not resolve anything. Instead, we will take a first step and see where it takes us. Because if our goal is just to start, we really can’t really fail can we? And that seems like a great way to start out a new year.

What will you start in 2016?

We Shaked & Baked & Picked Our Faves

And the Winners Are

How it all went downSalt and Pepper martini

We asked you to wow us with your most festive holiday cookie and cocktail recipes, and did you ever! After reviewing all the delicious submissions, it was narrowed down to our three favorite cookies and three favorite cocktails. We picked the best bakers in our Creative Department to personally prepare the cookies, and gathered all the cocktail ingredients for our Title Nine mixologist to work her magic.

April pouring Pucker

Then the fun began, as we invited the team at our Emeryville headquarters to put on their judging caps and try the treats and drinks. There was much discussion (which cookie was the most chocolaty) and some surprises (pepper really does taste good in a cocktail).  The votes were cast, and the winners revealed. Congratulations to Julie and Melissa for submitting the winning recipes.  They will each receive a $25 Title Nine gift certificate and of course, ultimate bragging rights!

Now grab a mixer or a bucket of ice and try ’em for yourself

We’ve listed the top three cookie and cocktail recipes below. You can find all the submissions in our original post. Thanks to everyone who took the time to submit a recipe!
