SPRITZ

Steps:

• Demo about using cookie press http://www.food.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=243023.
• Set out the butter so it is at room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, add the vanilla.
• In a different bowl combine flour and baking powder; add this dry mixture to creamed mixture and mix well.
• If you want to add a drop of food coloring, do so.
• Put a portion of dough into the cookie press.
• Shape dough with cookie press. ( When I use the swirlie plate, I like to get some dough onto the cookie sheet with press' feet? down --whatever you call them- LOL-- right on the cookie sheet and then turn the screw gizmo about 3 rotations. The first few usually do not look the best but by about the third one I have it figured out.).
• Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 14-15 minutes. If you use a dark cookie sheet it will take less time.

BURNT ROSEMARY ORANGE SPRITZ

Steps:

• Layer lemon wheels in the bottom of the mold. Add enough water to just cover lemons and freeze for an hour to hold fruit in place. Top with ice water and freeze overnight.
• For the Simple Syrup:.

• For the Punch:.
• Stir together Campari, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a punch bowl. Unmold ice ring by quickly dipping into warm water and inverting. Float ice ring in punch and set orange shell filled with rosemary sprigs in center of ice ring. Add sparkling water to punch just before serving. Fill the orange shell with the 151 rum, carefully light the 151 on fire and let burn for 15 minutes. Extinguish the fire by VERY CAREFULLY pouring sparkling wine into the orange shell and over the punch.
