Extracts (other than vanilla) have a way of hanging around for years in a cupboard, usually used in one recipe and then forgotten about. Luckily, there are a ton of clever ways to use them up.

Click over to Food 52 for their full list of extract elimination tactics, but you can start out by adding a few drops to your evening cocktail. Almond extract would play particularly well with a Campari-based apéritif. You don’t, however, have to restrict them to adult beverages; they’re a great way to get extra flavour in your morning smoothie. Oh, and it’s not on Food 52 list, but adding mint extract to a basic chocolate fudge is a very noble use for the stuff.
