I started out by choosing the fig and olive crackers, raincoasts crisps by Lesley Stowe. In selecting a dry cured meat I wanted to pick something a little sassier than the usual chorizo or regular salami we are used to at home so I snagged Creminelli’s salami made with barrel-aged whiskey. Needless to say they had my attention at whiskey and my love for liquor infused foods is strong. Next up I needed a cheese that was soft and subdued so Gruyere cheese was a good choice. I had my mango chutney already jarred and waiting at home so that would give this charcuterie the proper heat that it needed.

Now to cool down and lock the palette in this tantalizing mixture of flavors I chose That Indian Drink’s Mango Rosewater Yogurt drink. Boom…you’re ready for summer in each bite so go ahead and enjoy either with your significant other or a crowd at the next summer party.
