Sometimes, already great things can be improved with a slight twist or tweak. Here are some of the Sip Advisor’s favourite enhancements:

Curly Fries

Curly is the best of all fry variations and there is no point debating this fact. Don’t even try coming at me with lattice style… I’m not building a garden!

Ripple Chips

How do you make awesome potato chips better? Simple, you make them rippled. These are so much better, in any flavour, if you plan to use dips or put toppings on.

Salted Caramel

Caramel is already a pretty wicked sweet treat. When you add a sprinkle of salt to it, though, we’re talking whole.nutha.level!

Milk Chocolate

While I’ve been told dark chocolate is better than milk, I would argue milk is, in fact, the heavyweight champion of chocolates. It wears that belt proudly in some of the tastiest chocolate bars ever produced.

Honey Mustard

A little bit of honey takes the bite out of your typical mustards and is among the best dips for all things crispy chicken.

Crunchy Peanut Butter

Crunchy adds some much-needed texture to smooth. It takes you on an adventure through your PB&J or whatever else you’re spreading it on. Even Reese’s and Oh Henry! chocolate bars are enhanced when going with their crunchy recipe.

Garlic Bread

Momma didn’t raise no dummies! Even my picky eater kids know garlic bread rules. The mess of crumbs on the floor tells the whole story.

Spiced Rum

The Sip Advisor has long been a pusher of spiced rum. It is the most constantly restocked liquor in my vast collection, with me sometimes buying for quantity, not quality, just because I go through the stuff so quickly.

Cocktail Corner: The Blackbeard

• 1.5 oz Crème de Cacao
• 1 oz Spiced Rum
• 0.5 oz Fernet Branca
• 0.5 oz Stout

Since I highlighted spiced rum above, I decided today’s cocktail had to use the liquor. I went with this recipe, minus the optional squid ink. I also subbed Unicum Zwack in for the Fernet Branca, as it was the product I had among five substitution ideas. What are your favourite enhancements?
