Harry’s Pick-Me-Up
Have you noticed that over the past few years, certain food and beverages have been getting their own special days? I’m not kidding. There are even websites listing all the different days and which food, sweet treat or drink should be celebrated. Some items are so popular in fact, they have several days during the… Continue reading Harry’s Pick-Me-Up
Batida
Yesterday was the first day of fall, and while everyone all over the internet and social media was talking about pumpkin spice and apple recipes, I’m still thinking about summer. Why am I still in a summer mood? Because it’s still in the 80’s here. Yes, while the rest of the world starts to feel… Continue reading Batida
Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail
It’s been hot! I mean, surface of the sun hot. I live 10 blocks from the beach and it’s been oscillating between 80 and 90 degrees depending on the time of day. But if you look up above, it looks like rain… which sort of fits. Any time I’ve been somewhere tropical, somewhere the temperatures… Continue reading Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail
Peach Bourbon Sun Tea
For the past two years I’ve been invited to the OC County Fair to do cocktail demos. Last year I did bubbly cocktails with fresh produce. This year I did tea cocktails. Why tea? Well, the theme for this year’s fair was Feel the Sunshine, so I did something I’ve never done before. I made… Continue reading Peach Bourbon Sun Tea

I was going back through all my cocktail posts and I realized I’d never done the infamous G&T. You’re probably wondering why? I mean, I’ve got all the classics here. The Martini, the Manhattan, Bloody Mary, Mimosa, Margarita and the Mai Tai… and that’s just the M’s! If it’s got liquor and was made before… Continue reading Gin & Tonic

After a couple weeks of rum-based cocktails I thought I’d switch things up and go back to another summer liquor: gin. If you’ve been following along, you know that I’m a big gin fan. Whether it be a martini, a gin rickey, or a negroni, if it’s got gin, most likely you’ll find me sipping… Continue reading Golden Fizz Cocktail
Watermelon Mojito
Yes, it’s another mojito recipe! But do you blame me? It’s summer! When I think of summer, I think of days at the beach, lounging at the pool, backyard barbecues and plenty of fun! And nothing goes better with summertime fun than a rum cocktail. Rum is one of of those liquors that just screams… Continue reading Watermelon Mojito
Blueberry Coconut Mojito
Monday is July 4th. The day America celebrates its independence from England. I love the 4th of July. Backyard barbecues, block parties, fireworks and ice cold cocktails. Yeah, nothing goes better with a hot dog or hamburger than a beer. Unless it’s a cocktail. A cocktail that’s full of ice and bubbles. My favorite cocktail… Continue reading Blueberry Coconut Mojito
