New York Style Cheesecake
Ingredients
15 graham crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease bottom and sides of a 9 inch springform pan. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth (DO NOT OVER BEAT!). Stir in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust. Fill a pan full of hot water, and place on your lower rack of your oven, below your cheesecake. Place your cheesecake on the rack above (check your water pan occasionally, and make sure that there is always water in it.) Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours (DO NOT OPEN DOOR!); this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.

Cheesecake Apple Fluff Salad
Ingredients
16 ounces Cream Cheese — softened*
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 ounces whipped topping
3-5 apples, diced
1 cup chopped nuts — walnuts or pecans
1-2 cups mini marshmallows
Directions
Place cream cheese in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth, then mix in sugar. Mix or stir in whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Add the apples, nuts, and marshmallows. Stir to coat. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. NOTE: Philadelphia Cream Cheese makes a ready to use pre-made refrigerated cheesecake mix; this is a perfect use for that product, and would save you a chunk of time! You can also add grapes to the salad OR drizzle it with caramel! If you want to make it festive before serving, make a wreath on top with green M&M's and embellish it with red ones.

TINCUP American Whiskey
Description
TINCUP is a blend of two great American whiskeys, each aged in #3 charred oak barrels. “High rye” bourbon, distilled and aged in Indiana, is blended with a small amount of Colorado single malt whiskey. These whiskeys are then cut with Rocky Mountain water. TINCUP is named for the Colorado mining pioneers and the tin cups from which they drank their whiskey.
Rainier Beer brings together nature’s bounty from the great Northwest. We use golden barley to produce a beer rich in taste and texture. Fermented slowly with a pedigree yeast culture under tightly controlled conditions, Rainier comes forth with a satisfying malty flavor over a slightly fruity background, spiced with Chinook, Mt. Hood, and Willamette hop notes.
