Last Friday, Jen and I went to check out the Federal Donuts event at Art in the Age (creator of Root, Snap and Rhuby). If you’ve read much on this site, you’ll know that not only are these two of our favorite things in Philly, but we love combining them too! Needless to say, we were pretty excited to see what they came up with.

It's a Date
Bellwether and Richlane make for quite the pair

It being Monday, it means the time has come to decide what you'll be eating on Friday.

Drinks: When you’ve finished dinner, march yourselves across the street to Richlane. The simple wood-focused design lets the drinks stand out. Nightcaps are made of Maiden’s Milk ($10). Magically rich, the steamed whole milk, pear nectar, old-fashioned bitters, Snap gingersnap liqueur and a grating of cinnamon is served in a little china cup. 595 Union Ave. (at N. 11th St.), Brooklyn; 347-422-0617

It’s Four-Twenty: Do You Know Where Your Donuts and Cookies Are?

Federal Donuts' Art in the Age-inspired wares.

The Earth-Day Spirit
Rhuby ($30):

Like a CSA in a bottle, Rhuby contains a whole garden of organic vegetables, such as beets, carrots and, of course, rhubarb. The savory liqueur was inspired by a rhubarb-tea recipe dating back to the 1700s and concocted by a botanist friend of Benjamin Franklin’s. With aromas of lemon, cardamom, coriander and vanilla, it’s a perfect spring refresher mixed with tonic.

Eats Beat 4/19/12

Art in the Age Craft Spirits is teaming with Federal Donuts(1219 S. 2nd St., 267-687-8258, federaldonuts.com) for a limited-edition trio of baked goods featuring the local distillery’s spirits. We sampled them recently and can vouch for the tastiness of all three: Root Beer Float, Gingersnap Cookie and Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. Get ’em while they’re hot tomorrow through April 29.

Eat Boozy Donuts: AITA x Federal Donuts Collab

Mixing liquor and donuts because they can, and it's righteous, AITA's craft distillers and Federal Donuts' breakfast ring makers're getting together for a limited-time run of booze-infused morning treats, which count the Root Beer Float (ROOT glaze over a vanilla ice cream iced donut), and the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie 'nut, which comes with a RHUBY glaze, pie crust crumble, and strawberry icing, likely applied by Phoenix's Raffi Torres.
These donuts are a week-long exclusive, then they're gone. Read up on all the offerings at FederalDonuts.com.
