8 things we're obsessed with right now

1. A’ Siciliana Limonata
The A’ Siciliana Limonata, a wonderfully tart Italian soda made with fresh Sicilian lemons, is the perfect beverage … to pour a bunch of vermouth into and drink on the rocks. If you’re not into aperitif hour, this drink is also delicious on its own.

2. Beauti-Juice
You no longer have to stop by the local juice bar for your fresh-pressed fix, because the new, St. Charles-based Beauti-Juice ships to all 50 states. Order anywhere from a single bottle to a multi-day program of flavors like Hey Gorgeous, which includes beet, green apple, orange and ginger juices.

3. Bold Spoon Creamery
Launched in May, this ice cream made with local Rolling Lawns Farm cream has made these uncertain times decidedly more cheerful. We loved the lemon curd ice cream, which was dense and smooth with a kiss of citrus. The fact that you can get it delivered makes it taste even better.

4. Passion Fruit & Citra Hops Urban Seltzer
With its tart, fruity-floral notes, Urban Chestnut’s take on this hottest of canned beverages is the first we’ve tried that doesn’t make us sad we’re not just drinking either beer or carbonated water.

5. Oo’mämē chile infusions
We’ve been loving the Oo’mämē Chinese chile crisp on everything from roasted sweet potatoes to salads to stir fry. With ingredients like fermented black bean, crystallized ginger and Sichuan peppercorns, this spicy condiment brings a broad, deep flavor to anything you put it on.
